    The exemption from fuel taxes is a policy affecting air travel. Also, policies affecting competing modes of transportation.

    Similarly, meat isn’t priced according to it’s true cost, which can be seen as a subsidy.

    From my point of view, everything (including the two) should be included in carbon pricing, to prevent a distorted market.

      Yeah I agree, what I meant is that as a Swiss citizen there are really no policies driving you towards producing less carbon. Or if there are you do not really notice them in your day to day life. So I am pretty sure the people did this on their own accord.
