MAGICC is a reduced complexity Earth system model that has been widely used in climate science for over three decades, most notably in multiple IPCC reports. It is most often used in a probabilistic setup, providing information not only about our best-estimate of future climate change but also the uncertainty that arises from interactions between the Earth system’s many components. MAGICC is also as the climate component in multiple integrated assessment models (IAMs).
