The EPA Journal published a long neglected and important article way back in 1985, of accidental but great relevance to climate change. It ought to be required reading, even though the article makes not a single mention of either climate change or global warming.

It does, however, have a most relevant section of seven short paragraphs about the Roman Empire called "Addicted to Lead." Remember, this was published in 1985, so as you read the section excerpted below, when you see the word "lead", think "carbon" instead.
