Why would Switzerland effectively offer a negative incentive towards people holding conferences there? Are you advocating that they should make attending climate conferences become more expensive and harder to attend?
- makerofspoons 8y agoNo, I'm proposing that they encourage more eco-friendly alternatives that also make attending the conference cheaper such as telecommuting or using rail.

Edit: the idea isn't to tax air travel to death, but to have a sufficient level of tax so that ordinary citizens can accept the environmental taxes that they must pay on polluting activities (some of which they can't avoid -- e.g commuting to work which is a necessity, contrary to fly private jets).
