Though the press release and other official statements of oil companies take great pains to emphasize that the scientific community is not unanimous in the belief that global warming can be tied to the burning of fossil fuels and other human activities, oil companies clearly do not believe this to be the case. If there were actually credible, respected scientists who rejected human-caused climate change, these companies would surely spend more money to support the research doe by these dissenting voices, for they have a vested interest in making sure debate on the issue continues indefinitely.
Which of the following best explains the apparent discrepancy described above?
(A) Oil companies have only recently begun investing in scientific research that addresses climate change.
(B) Unless a researcher can credibly claim independence from those whom his research might benefit, they will not be as successful as those who can.
(C) Oil companies typically earmark money spent on research for technologies that would directly benefit their profits.
(D) Oil companies spend substantial amounts circulating their press releases and publicizing their other official statements.
(E) If a company spends money to support on side of a contentious issue, such support will be taken as a sign that the issue is already decided.
