It's not really the typical time for nasty California fires. What changed that?
Here's what experts say is turning Southern California's speedy wildfires into a deadly urban conflagration that is defying the calendar.

DRI's Joe McConnell and his team were recently featured in @nytimes.com for their research using Arctic #IceCore records to reconstruct historic atmospheric lead pollution in the #RomanEmpire finding that exposure to lead from mining lowered I.Q. levels. nyti.ms/4h8CICX
Sure, the Romans Were Smart. But They Could Have Been Smarter.
Exposure to lead from mining probably lowered I.Q. levels in the empire, research has found. It might be the world’s first case of widespread industrial pollution.
