Description

Model for the assessment of greenhouse gas included climate change (MAGICC).

The model has a long history, starting with Tom Wigley then passing to Malte Meinshausen then continuing with the many other contributors listed above.

Model development now happens at gitlab.com/magicc/magicc.
