Regarding the first, that’s why I included the caveat here: “Given this, it seems to me to be roughly a toss up that the average person in the People’s Climate March would have much of an expected impact, let alone a high-impact person with potential for higher wages and other factors.”
I think on other issues (e.g. animal agriculture) this may still be overwhelmed. Also, thanks for your comments, as usual.
Yeah, you said it was a toss-up after making a bunch of extremely favorable assumptions (other folks in this thread have pointed out other corrections, the most important probably being that dollars of environmental action != dollars to GW top charities). My point is that if you relax the extremely favorable assumptions to anything more realistic, the case for the climate march doesn’t seem strong at all. Not just “a toss-up” but a lot weaker.
Maybe the case is stronger for other causes, but you didn’t really talk concretely about those, so I can’t comment.
