Okay I guess you’re correct, your comment wasn’t stating your views, just the contents of the IPCC report.
I 100% agree with your reading of Halstead’s report -he’s very explicit that there’s evidence against climate change being an existential risk. I still think your original comment somewhat downplays the tail risk scenarios that are still considered plausible (e.g. from the tipping points section of Halstead’s report), but I agree that those aren’t actually likely extinction risks.
I think in general you and I are probably on the same page overall about climate risk and the extent to which we should be working on it in EA.
