Hard to say, since I've not seen the paper (I'm working on it). Could be that they used a statistical model, not a climate model??

Here's the full title from Zorita's web page:

E. Zorita, T. Stocker and H. von Storch. How unusual is the recent series of warm years?

Here's link a I just found for folks with access to the AGU site:

EDIT: Yes, they used statistical analysis, not GCM type climate models. Steve McIntyre will have fun with this one!!

No, although I wish I had the opportunity after looking at the program and reading a few abstracts. I'm on the other side of "flyover land". If you have some direct thoughts, my e-mail address can be found from my profile...
