Good Morning Britain meteorologist Laura Tobin faced a backlash from viewers after travelling to Kourou, French Guiana ahead of the JUICE mission launch.
Laura excitedly discussed the mission with GMB hosts Richard Madeley and Charlotte Hawkins as she explained: "Everything is on track at the moment to go completely well. You need four things to harbour life. You need enough energy, the right elements, water and a stable environment, and they think they have all of those on Ganymede so it is very exciting."
The meteorologist explained the European Space Agency personally invited GMB as a UK exclusive.
Laura has previously stressed her passion for raising awareness for climate change and last year published a book Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet.
GMB viewers hit out at the presenter for flying to South America as one frustrated viewer wrote: "Climate change Laura on her jollies again #gmb."
Another tweeted: "@GMB Greta Tobin reducing her carbon footprint from French Guyana. What a hypocrite!!! Don’t preach climate change to us Laura!!!"
"Laura’s jollies are getting totally ridiculous. They are hypercritical given her stance on climate change and not wanted by the vast majority of viewers," a third said.
Someone else added: "I hope this weather broad flew economy to offset her carbon footprint #GMB."
"Good to see Laura the explorer saving her carbon footprint by flying out to French Guiana to speak about space exploration," a fifth quipped.
Mirror has contacted GMB for comment.
This isn't the first time Laura's flying habits have sparked an outrage with the presenter coming under fire last year when the 41-year-old presented the weather from Egypt.
With the Giza pyramids in shot, Laura began: "Last year I went to COP26 that voted on cutting emissions, net zero targets, limiting earths warmings. It was so important for me to go there, be on the ground talk to scientists to see what was happening, so that's why I've come to Egypt this year to COP27. It's the implementation COP to make those targets a reality and they're passing a baton from one end of the scale to the other."
In an interview promoting her book Everyday Ways to Save Our Planet, Laura said last year: "I wanted to show that if everyone works together it is possible to make a change. If the government’s leaders see that we want the change, they’re more inclined to invest the money in the right areas for the change to happen. So it’s very much a chicken and egg situation. Everyone has to make those changes together."
