BBC put presenter on a plane to interview Greta Thunberg DECEMBER 29, 2019 By Paul Homewood h/t oldbrew/Dennis Ambler From the Guardian: Putting a presenter on a flight to Sweden to meet climate activist Greta Thunberg “felt awkward”, the editor of BBC Radio 4’s Today programme has admitted. The 16-year-old campaigner, who was a guest editor on a special edition of the show, avoids air travel because of its environmental impact. The BBC sent presenter Mishal Husain on a return flight to Stockholm to interview her. Programme editor Sarah Sands told the Sunday Times: “We did discuss that among ourselves. It felt awkward but we did not have the time for trains or boats.” theguardian.com Trains and boats (which in any case also use fossil fuels) take much longer than air travel! And that is precisely why we need to fly. But there is a much more fundamental question – why did they need to send a team out to interview her anyway? Have they not heard of video calls? It’s not the emissions I care about, it’s the cost. notalotofpeopleknowthat.wordpress.com
