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.
