'Awkward' is more or less an understatement here, because not only the presenter took a return flight back which is seen as a 'crime' against the planet due to taking double the CO2 emissions with the risk of getting flight-shamed, it was all for interviewing the a̶c̶t̶o̶r̶ activist herself.
The greenest thing the BBC could have done was to arrange a Skype/FaceTime interview. But instead, in the eyes of 'Queen Greta', the BBC presenter has committed 'CO2 treason' with a return flight which is now double the emissions of a single flight, rather than sailing for two weeks like Greta did. Perhaps Greta thinks its practical for all of us, but it is not I'm afraid and until flights become greener, then flights it has to be for long trips.
But a return flight for a interview with Greta? That is beyond comical for the BBC to do this.
