Basically no.
The circuit looks roughly like this

Add/remove a 10K load across P1-P3 and you will make less than 1% difference to the current consumed.
Hrm, "the guy" now certainly understands that he underestimated the influence of the temp-compensation. Immediate question now is: why is the 10K load needed at all if it only attributes to less than 1% to total current?
May I ask where above schematics is coming from?
Thanks!!!!
