Thanks, this updates me, I had cached something more skeptical on chicken welfare campaigns.
Do you have a sense of what “advocacy multiplier” this implies? Is this >1000x of helping animals directly?
I have the suspicion that the relative results between causes are—to a significant degree—not driven by cause-differences but by comfort with risk and the kind of multipliers that are expected to be feasible.
FWIW, I also do believe that marginal donations to help farmed animals will do more good than marginal climate donations.
Thanks for this, fascinating stuff!
I am wondering from many of the data that you present and also anecdotally: Isn’t it more that “climate change” is so strongly partisan, not environmental issues more broadly? And because climate change has become the dominant political environmentalist issue, “climate” and “environmentalism” become somewhat synonymous despite the underlying politics of other environmental issues being somewhat different?
