My preference would have been to simply leave out stuff like "The changes enumerated by Wasdell are largely minor corrections that eliminated those points that did not stand up to scrutiny. A case in point is the removal of statements about acceleration of sea level rise. Based on available data, sea level has risen as rapidly during periods of the past 50 years as it is rising today, so an assessment of “acceleration” would be premature."
