China Hates Old Motorcycles, Scraps Any and All 13-Year Old Bikes

Is our world warming? Yes, that's a fact. And it's largely caused by all the greenhouse gases we've emitted as a species since the Industrial Revolution. Those gases continue into today with tail-pipe emissions, too. 

So it's reasonable to say that we should get emitters of such emissions off the road. But it's one thing to replace an aging, old, heavily polluting machine that's in poor working order with something electric and just scrapping machines just because they reach a certain age. They could still work well and, they wouldn't require mining more materials and causing further pollution, as well as endlessly feeding the capitalist loop of needing to purchase newer and newer shit.
