Hoi, When we finally have to pay carbon tax on aviation fuel, it will be non discriminatory. It may affect us but it is only money. Really your argument is not about the same thing. When I indicate that our reputation suffers because of us using dirty data centres, it is our reputation and it is well deserved. Thanks, GerardM

Hoi, Yair you are wrong. When our director spoke up against the ukaze of Mr Trump about people visiting our office, the only office of the Wikimedia Foundation, it directly affected our work, our mission. We have WMF employees that cannot come to the office any longer. We have employees that cannot visit their family when there are grave family situations.
I also agree with Mike's post. In another hand, I think that Gerard Meijssen's argument is not satisfactory. I mean, if one day a substantial carbon tax, which I personally wish for, would multiply the cost of plane travels by 2 or 4 times (say, not in a day), I hope the WMF would not protest against it (I don't tell about supporting it), even if it would "directly affect our work", or actually the way we use to work now, with much intercontinental flights for a few days of meeting.
