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?

That is correct. The train is an Avelia Liberty, and the cattle wagon is an exhibit in the Auschwitz museum.

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.
