It's not actually propaganda - just factual information. Cursitor Doom
doesn't know enough to understand what the facts mean, and is gullible
enough to believe the fossil carbon industry propaganda (which he
doesn't see as propaganda).
He thinks his 1890's measures of the 1890 CO2 levels - by wet chemistry
done in labs heated by coal fires in cities heated the same way, have
the same weight as Charles Keelings automated CO2 level measurements
done by IR absorbtion at the top of Manu Loa, which started in 1958,
after IR absorbtion machines had gone into commercial production.
The first non-dispersive CO2 gas monitor dates back to a about 1943, but
it took a while for them to become commercially available.
He misses the point that Charles Keeling started off doing his
measurements in an urban environment, but found out that local CO2
emissions made the results erratic, and had to take his gear to the top
of Manu Loa to get consistent results that could be relied on.
