Modern science is built on the process of posing hypotheses and testing them against observations -- in essence, attempting to show that the hypotheses are incorrect. Nothing brings more recognition than overthrowing conventional wisdom. It is accordingly unsurprising that some scientists are skeptical of the widely accepted predictions of global warming. What is instead remarkable is that with hundreds of researchers striving to make breakthroughs in climatology, very few find evidence that global warming is unlikely. The information above provides the most support for which one of the following statements? ['Research in global warming is primarily driven by a desire for recognition in the scientific community.', 'Most researchers in climatology have substantial motive to find evidence that would discredit the global warming hypothesis.', 'There is evidence that conclusively shows that the global warming hypothesis is true.', 'Scientists who are skeptical about global warming have not offered any alternative hypotheses to explain climatological data.']
