I am going to disagree that “the gains in animal welfare are likely to outweigh the sustainability cost.” IMO, its very uncertain.
I think it’s important to note that the EA Forum post you cite on this topic didn’t take into account wild animal suffering, and it’s calculations on human life loss from climate change rely on one study so the analysis could change if another study has a very different variable.
But I do commend the creatively in the political strategy, I think EA needs a lot more of that.
