GCM means Global Circulation Model. The more recent ones are coupled ocean-atmospheric models that are used to predict climate change under various “man made” scenarios. We are using the climate scenarios under doubled carbon dioxide of several GCMs to predict the distribution of species. According to the Intergovernmental Panel on Climate Change, we are looking at a doubled carbon dioxide level in our atmosphere by the year 2100.
