An Earth system climate model used to investigate the importance of urgent methane mitigation for limiting global warming to 2°C above pre-industrial levels

This upload contains the code for version 2.10 of the University of Victoria Earth System Climate Model (UVic ESCM 2.10), in which we included a representation of the global methane cycle. This modified version of UVic ESCM 2.10 is described in the manuscript "Delaying methane mitigation increases the risk of breaching the 2°C warming limit", submitted to Communications Earth & Environment. The current code was used to generate results in the aforementioned manuscript.
