Swiss voters shoot down climate tax
A climate law that would introduce a higher surcharge on car fuels and a levy on flight tickets has been rejected by a majority of Swiss voters.

The government will continue to work with the public to develop climate policies, said the environment minister, Simonetta Sommaruga.
