“The well-known journalist and award-winning documentary filmmaker Giorgos Avgeropoulos spoke today on Radio 98.4 about his new documentary “Mankind’s Folly”, describing it as a deeply revealing investigative journey, as he puts it, from Siberia to Alaska, across the entire Arctic Circle.

With Greenland currently at the center of global geopolitical attention, what he describes is striking. His new work focuses on the climate crisis in the Arctic, with particular emphasis on the melting of permafrost (permanently frozen ground) in Alaska and Siberia, and the serious consequences this has for local populations and for the planet as a whole.

Powerful images document the lives of people who are witnessing their environment change in devastating ways, including the collapse of infrastructure, the loss of homes, and profound social and health-related impacts.”

Hector-Xavier Delastik writes in Infowar about Mankind’s Folly:

“Why should permafrost concern us down here as well?

The first point, which is extremely important, is that we tend to think of the ground as… a given. If something lies underground, it will more or less stay there unless some massive natural phenomenon or our own human activity brings it to the surface. Permafrost does not follow this rule.

A better way to think about it is as layers of ice and snow mixed with soil. These layers accumulate on top of one another for hundreds of thousands of years, reaching depths of up to 1.5 kilometers, compacted so tightly that they form extremely solid ground.

Ground, however, whose structural material is ice. Which means that as temperatures rise, this ice gradually melts, turning soil tens of meters deep into a muddy, unstable mass. Ground that quite literally disappears beneath our feet due to human activity, as these regions are seeing temperatures rise many times faster than the rest of the planet.

This erosion poses a massive problem for the companies involved, one that is addressed with the logic: ‘We take significant measures to protect our facilities and prevent fuel leaks. For anything beyond the facilities, let the earth burn.’

Starting from this point, why it concerns every single person personally, regardless of distance… you will find out on screen.”
