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.”

“In Yorgos Avgeropoulos’ new film, permafrost is the past that returns to take revenge on us.

Beneath the melting ice, the traces of a hubris thousands of years old begin to emerge. Mankind’s Folly by Yorgos Avgeropoulos, which was released in cinemas on January 15, is not merely a documentary about climate change, but a warning.”

Giota Kotseta writes “Avgeropoulos has been making documentaries ‘forever’, by which I mean that he knows how to place one line of reasoning on top of another, how to construct his narratives, how to choose his frames, how to build stories that can sustain research and testimony. Here, then, he allows his camera, and our gaze along with it, to spread out across the endless expanses of Siberia, to examine the houses that sink a few centimeters every year, to walk along coastlines that “spew up” the bones of prehistoric mammoths, to wander through cemeteries with the uncanny image of graves sinking into the ground.”
