Due to this, he concludes the cause area is one of the most important LT problems and primarily advises focusing on other risks due to neglectedness.
This sentence is confusing me, should I read it as:
Due to this, he concludes the cause area is one of the most important LT problems but primarily advises focusing on other risks anyway due to neglectedness.
Due to this, he concludes the cause area is not one of the most important LT problems and primarily advises focusing on other risks due to neglectedness.
From this summary of the summary I get the the impression that 1 is the correct interpretation but from
I construct several models of the direct extinction risk from climate change but struggle to get the risk above 1 in 100,000 over all time.
in the original summary I get the impression that 2 should be true.
Good point, thank you—I’ve had a re-read of the conclusion and replaced the sentence with “Due to this, he concludes that climate change is still an important LT area—though not as important as some other global catastrophic risks (eg. biorisk), which outsize on both neglectedness and scale.”
Originally I think I’d mistaken his position a bit based on this sentence: “Overall, because other global catastrophic risks are so much more neglected than climate change, I think they are more pressing to work on, on the margin.” (and in addition I hadn’t used the clearest phrasing) But the wider conclusion fits the new sentence better.
