Er…if I’m not badly mistaken (a) not really and (b) your implication does not follow. The one paper in question is primarily about doing a hemispherical historical temperature reconstruction – which had not been done before.

Letters, Eli Gets Letters, and Email and Twits Off the top of the pile, a letter to the Gibraltar Chronicle (by way of Barry Bickmore ) from Alfred Cortes, but first some background. The government of Gibraltar held a Thinking Green Forum last Saturday, with Al Gore and Juan Verde, the former known to all, the latter a former high Department of Commerce Official who presented the position of the Obama administration on renewable energy and how the US election will affect Europe (that would be nice to know). This, of course, attracted the flies, and who shows up but everyone’s favorite martian, the Lord Monckton, spewing as usual, and he got a pretty good press in Gibraltar before going totally off the rails as Eli hinted yesterday. So, what lit the fuse. Barry Bickmore came up with the smoking letter: The on-going campaign by the Chronicle against Al Gore and the parallel promotion of the views of Lord Monckton is hard to understand.

"Obama the Muslim:" Ploy to Cover-up Years of US-Al Qaeda Support US establishment admits arming Al Qaeda, but blames it on "Obama the Muslim."Â by Tony Cartalucci October 24, 2012 – Neo-Conservative Frank Gaffney thinks you are stupid.

President Obama for his part, faithfully and knowingly carried out this strategy, "heeding" signed letters sent to him from Gaffney’s warmongering circle , imploring him to not only support terrorists in Libya and Syria , but to do so more overtly.
