Counterpoint, their is a very big difference between burning oil and an infinitely recyclable metal that does not inherently release carbon and only ever has to be mined once before it is used forever. It’s not a solution to say the inherent waste of using a massive vehicle to move a single person in a crowded environment, but from the perspective of preventing the vast destruction of climate change, replacing things that inherently output carbon to things that don’t is a solution.

Again, there are plenty of other methods of transport like trains, trams, bikes, etc… but it is simply ridiculous to claim that buring oil is just the same as not buring oil.
