From the UK's hottest day to the hottest year on record globally, there's no doubt some worrying temperature records have been broken in recent years.
Many people think the rate of global warming has dramatically accelerated or 'surged' over the past 15 years – and is a cause of more extreme weather. 
The team’s findings demonstrate a lack of statistical evidence for an increased warming rate that could be defined as a surge. In this graph, the circled part section is the part that some scientists have highlighted as a period of increased warming (the 'surge'), but the team say this model is 'not plausible' (inset)
But a new study says there is not any statistical evidence for this so-called 'surge' or 'leap'.
Researchers looked at long-term global surface temperatures since records began back in 1850 and found no evidence of a surge since the 1970s.
While the academics agree that human-caused global warming is happening, they say it is not statistically 'surging' as some claim.
