Just a thought: Assuming this question is intended to essentially be about natural vs anthropogenic risks, rather than also comparing against other things like animal welfare and global poverty, it might be simplest to instead wonder: “Are there any specific natural existential risks that are significant enough that more than 1% of longtermist [or “existential risk focused”] resources should be devoted to it? .1%? .01%?”
Good question!
