Animal welfare is an area where climate concerns and a canonical EA cause converge because factory farming is a major contributor to both problems. By that light, EAs are actually doing quite a lot to mitigate climate change, just under a different banner.
At least often. I don’t know if would be safe to assume that there will ~always be convergence—for instance, switching to higher-welfare breeds that grow less efficiently and less rapidly might plausibly not be net positive from a climate perspective. Cultured meat might not be if its production were extremely energy intensive.
