A number of climate models, based on information from weather stations around the globe, show the world has been warming gradually since the 1850s.
But the figures have been called into question following the ‘climategate’ affair at the University of East Anglia.
Sceptics alleged that emails stolen from the Climatic Research Unit at the university show scientists were willing to manipulate data to show global warming.
They also complain that the raw data for the climate models was not made available to the public.
To try to restore public confidence the Met Office is talking to other meteorological organisations around the world about recreating the model using the same raw data but more modern computers.
