    Conservative or progressive is often associated with political party’s.

    E.g., if the evidence suggests we should take a precautionary approach & not gamble the stability of the planet’s climate on an unproven “carbon capture” tech, that would be conservative, or a precautionary approach (prudence).

    But, the conservative party’s & industries are promoting carbon capture. They’re not conservative (cautious), they’re venture capitalists (gambling for a profit)
