Tonight on The Gunn Show, it’s just you, me and our modest Airbnb kitchen table here in Belém—answering your questions about what’s really happening at the UN climate conference. And honestly? Your instincts have been dead-on.

Let’s start with the scene on the ground. Belém is a city where entire neighbourhoods have zero sanitary infrastructure, yet the UN has parachuted in tens of thousands of delegates who preach austerity while living like cruise-ship royalty. Literally. They’ve taken over multiple luxury liners.

The UN gave us accreditation… and then refused us entry. After that? It’s walls, gates, guards, and a whole lot of “come back never.”

You’ve also asked about what we’ve uncovered—and it’s worse than we expected. We found UN garbage dumped in a favela, the kind of place the delegates would never set foot in, except apparently when they need a secret landfill. Meanwhile, the media centre is air-conditioned into a permafrost zone, the motorcades never stop idling, and the diesel buses puff their way through town.

Tonight, from this kitchen table, I’ll walk you through everything: the favela investigation, the rebanning, and what this whole spectacle really tells us about the UN.

The UN’s massive climate summit in Belém, Brazil has wrapped — and while nearly everyone there was on a government or lobbyist expense account, our reporting was funded entirely by viewers like you.

Because of your support, Sheila Gunn Reid and Kian Simone uncovered what the UN tried to hide: luxury cruise ships, diesel-fuelled motorcades, a secret highway carved through the Amazon, sewage-filled “revitalization” projects, and even UN conference waste dumped in a poor neighbourhood.

The mission is complete, but the costs remain. Flights were just under $5,000, accommodation $2,500, plus transport, mobile data and local help — a total of $8,500–$9,000.

If you value this kind of on-the-ground reporting the mainstream won’t do, please chip in to help us cover the remaining costs of the trip.
