I’d call this mid term rather than long term, but the impacts of animal agriculture on climate change, zoonotic disease spread and antibiotic resistance are significant.
Aren’t those extinction risks, although perhaps less severe or likely to cause extinction than others, according to EAs?
I guess that would indeed make them long term problems, but my reading on them seems to have been that they are catastrophic risks rather than existential risks, as in they don’t seem to have much likelihood (relative to other X-risks) of eliminating all of humanity.
