MODERATORS
You may want to reread the preceeding and following paragraphs because they're not saying what you think they are.
They're saying using a car you already have will produce less emissions than manufacturing a brand new replacement car. This does not account for the emissions required to manufacture the car you already own nor any of the emissions from driving it up to the point of the comparison (13 years).
This article doesn't say "building a car causes more emissions than driving a car" it says "swapping out your slightly used car for a new one causes more emissions than just keeping your old car"
I think you replied to the wrong person. Nowhere did I ever mention emissions or swapping out cars.
That said, I agree with you
