Far far less than if you keep on driving a gas car. It's better to not drive at all, but we're not going to get everybody out of cars.
Proper scrapping does mean destroying the old car and not merely selling it
Buying a new car, any new car, EV or not is much worse than continuing to drive a current car. Most of the emissions come from the manufacture of the vehicle.
Not true. EVs offset production emissions in 20-30, 000 miles.
You can actually scrap a nearly new ice car to change for an EV and still come ahead in lifetime emissions
No mention of other emissions besides CO2?
