I suggest you invite them to explain where they think their 'green' car came from. Consider the resources involved in mining ore, smelting steel, shipping it half way around the planet, rolling it into sheets, casting it into shapes, forming it into parts, painting it, shipping it half way round the planet again, all those workers trundling backwards and forwards in order to do the above, then there's the plastics, the electronics, tyres, glass, foams, textiles, etc. etc. etc. - all so they can claim a marginally lower CO2 ranking over the few miles they will cover before trading it in for a new one?
