(e.g. it seems plausible to me that EA should make climate change our standard ‘mainstream’ cause rather than global health).
This is really interesting to hear from you. I wonder if community builders and people leading fundraising organizations should think about this more, and if they are willing to shift their focus and marketing to effective climate change charities than GiveWell charities.
Some fundraising-focused EA organizations still focus on global health ones only (i.e. Ayuda Efectiva from Spain and EA Norway’s initiative, gieffektivt.no).
If you have time to answer, what further work do you think has to be done in this area before more EAs decide that climate change donations should be our “mainstream cause”? Or do you think more EAs should already be mainstreaming effective climate change charities more than GiveWell’s already?

I think it’s a good question, but it’s pretty complex, so it would take me a while to elaborate, sorry!
