{{OFF-TOPIC}}
Instead of discussing whether the greenhouse effect is really based on CO2-emissions, what renewable resources are, what the latest developments are for nuclear plants, I think we should consider the following questions:
* What are the benefits for the Wikimedia Foundation? ** Good Feeling ** Good Publicity
* What are the disadvantages for the Wikimedia Foundation? * It costs money * It might damage the neutrality of the projects if announced publicly * Possibly problems with the tax status (might have to be checked)
If anybody has to add possible advantages or disadvantages, please do so. I capture the future for our children etc under "Good Feeling", please read that in the broadest sense of the word. (we are talking about an organization here, so it might be about feelings of it's board, staff, volunteers etc)
Thanks for the move to on-topic.

If people are still interested in looking into providers of carbon offsets, "Clean Air-Cool Planet" has evaluated 30 offset providers. (CA-CP is a science-based, non-partisan, 501(c)3 non-profit). Looks like a good starting point.
