Thanks for putting this together. If this analysis is true (though I’m skeptical), then pescatarian → vegetarian advocacy could be beneficial. I definitely do agree that not including carbon cost in the existing calculations has long been a mistake… there are likely other considerations that are yet still missing.
Having ~1 human welfare day lost per 5kg of carbon seems high to me… and in the long run scenario close to 9 human welfare days per kg. Both of these calculations would require more defense in my opinion.

Those welfare points are on a roughly −100 to +100 point scale. It’s not a real QALY.
