My two cents: I can understand why youād want to not post 2, if you believe it had those issues. But it seems like, if 3b is already written, it might as well be posted, unless you think itās fundamentally mistaken. If you just think that EA climate change research is a less valuable approach than you used to, then maybe you could slap some extra caveats and updates at the top. It could still potentially serve as some useful thoughts for people who do pursue that approach, or serve as an explanation of why you think that approach isnāt that valuable, or that sort of thing.
Iām not personally very focused on climate change, and donāt think Iād personally read the post. But I have a general sense that posts that are just āmaybe not very novel or usefulā still might as well be posted, once the effort has gone into writing them. It seems like they may at least be appreciated in some way by some niche audience, or suggest to others that that topic isnāt worth them writing about. And worst case scenario is usually just they donāt get read much, or slightly waste a few peopleās time.
This doesnāt apply to posts that are so incorrect theyād leave people with worse beliefs, or posts that pose information hazards, but it didnāt sound like you thought those things were true of 3b?
