Your claim about climate change being not neglected be true but my guess is that many users of this forum disagree with it.
Thus I guessed that the downvoting of Geoffrey’s commwnt was good faith disagreeing that climate change was nonneglected and worth steering Bezos away from. I.e. people who support more funding for climate stuff.
Good point. I assumed it was good faith disagreement, but surprising disagreement nonetheless. But perhaps I shouldn’t be too surprised. If I recall correctly, the EA Survey consistently finds that a significant minority of EAs rate climate change as a high priority, and with so many new comers and the popularity of climate change as an issue among people who want to have a social impact in general, I suspect you’re right there are a significant number of Forum users who think climate change is neglected and a top or near-top priority.
