We do not republish articles from Metro. Our findings are below, each quoting the words it is about. Read the full article on the outlet's own site.
Read the original article on metro.co.uk (opens in a new tab)Metro reports a British Antarctic Survey study of seabed mud cores. The study suggests much of the West Antarctic Ice Sheet, including Thwaites Glacier, retreated in past warm periods at global temperatures similar to today's. The article states the human cause of ocean warming plainly, gives the scientists' own words on timescales and uncertainty, and nothing in it misleads the reader.
“human-caused greenhouse gas emissions are now warming the oceans at an unprecedented rate”
Metro states the human cause of ocean warming as fact in its own voice, with no 'scientists claim' hedge, in line with the documented record (R1).
“How fast we’ll see that rise is really difficult to say.”
Metro quotes a co-author on the genuine uncertainty about the speed of sea level rise. It keeps that qualification and still reports the warning of substantial rise.
