Somehow this comic accurately describes our reality:
The most mindblowing thing to me is that these firms are such a gigantic economic force, they could for example invest in renewable energy or sustainable industries. They could have our future low-carbon world by the balls, like Shell or ExxonMobil do today.
Insurers and banks could divest from their carbon-intensive assets, but they will lobby and look for every loophole to protect themselves from responsibility, while being pulled feet-first into a meatgrinder.
The whinny is coming from inside the stable, as usual.
Yes, e-bikes take more resources to manufacture, especially the battery, but:
While manufacturing an e-bike is more resource intensive than a pushbike, lifetime CO2 emissions of an e-bike can be lower, because a motor is more efficient than human muscles.
If someone has an E-bike, depending on how they use it, it's possible that it will replace more car trips than a pushbike would. E-bikes also require less physical fitness, which again can increase uptake among people who aren't as fit or have health problems, for example.
This video is worth a watch: Simon Clark - How bad are electric bikes for the environment?
