Climate projections (e. g. figure 13) presented in IPCC (Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change) reports are based on simulations with different climate models. There are around 40 climate models around the world, including models in the United States, Japan, China, France, United Kingdom, Germany, Canada. They all perform the same simulations as part of the Coupled Model Intercomparison Project (CMIP). All results are freely accessible on the web. These results are used in IPCC reports. For example, the 5th IPCC report ([IPCC, 2013]) used results from CMIP5 ([Taylor et al., 2012]).
