All discussions of EA run into the fact that EA is a diverse movement with lots of different opinions and “wings” of the movement with different priorities. So any statement like the above is going to have dissenters. At the same time (and to practice charity, as many in the movement recommend): it is also perfectly accurate to note that there is an opinionated wing of the EA movement that believes AI risk is the most important X-risk facing us, and influential members of that movement have certainly made statements downplaying the relative risk of climate change. They’ve also managed to get some agreement from portions of the broader community. (And it is also hard to deny that some of the latter elements of the movement seem to be gaining ground in ‘capturing’ the brand, at least as far as it’s known to the public.)
