"Not really related to flat-earthdom but in "An Inconvenient Truth" Gore warns, for example, that Europe may experience a new ice age, which seems a little paradoxical in a discussion of global warming. However, he says, about 10,000 years ago, when the last glacial ice sheet melted in what became North America, fresh water flooded the Atlantic and shut off the Gulf Stream, thus stopping a conveyer belt of warm temperatures that gave Europe a temperate climate; a new ice age developed and froze the continent for about 900 years.

Could happen again, Gore says."

I'm sorry but I don't see anything in there that "establishes as 'myth'" Gore's point. It just reports what Gore said in the movie. What follows is the article about how the Gulf Stream may not be a factor, after all. Are you suggesting that by juxtaposition Alastair does that? Because it sure isn't in his intro words.
