"Sound Science"

I thought 538's recent article on "The Easiest Way to Dismiss Good Science is to Demand Sound 'Science'"  to be very thought provoking. The idea that the core question is how much risk are we willing to accept gives me a much more sympathetic view of the climate change deniers. They are willing to accept a higher level of risk with the immediate financial benefit than I am. Ah. That is truly a personal decision. I think our society should accept a lower level of risk for ourselves and our children, even though this means a more immediate financial sacrifice.  

Risk averse. Where does that put me on the political spectrum?
