ExactlyActually the article is about a gaggle of so-called "scientists" making a huge leap of faith in proclaiming that the Romans' use of lead in everything from aqueducts to cookware and drink wear exhibits global implications which can be measured and quantified via analysis of arctic ice cores. Give me a break! I have a degree in agronomic science and 30+ years experience in its application. I have a thorough understanding of the electro-chemical interactions between naturally occurring molecules and elements. To say that their claim regarding Roman lead in arctic ice is utterly preposterous and lacking in scientific merit is an understatement. They fail to even consider volcanic activity as the source of lead in arctic ice. Ever hear of Mt Vesuvius? They make Fauci et al look legitimate in comparison.
