Crimes of the Future is a 1970 Canadian science fiction film written, shot, edited and directed by David Cronenberg.[1] Like Cronenberg's previous feature, Stereo, Crimes of the Future was shot silent with a commentary added afterwards, spoken by the character Adrian Tripod (Ronald Mlodzik).

Although the film shares its title with Cronenberg's 2022 film of the same name, the latter is not a remake as the story and concept are unrelated,[2] however there is a loose connection between the two films, as the main premise of the 2022 film, "creative cancer" also appears in the 1970 version.

quote:

Twenty-five percent (25%) of the Northern Hemisphere is covered by permafrost that’s melting the fastest ever. The risks of toxic leaks at industrial sites are immeasurable. Nobody really knows for sure how it ends, but it has started.

“Industrial contaminants accumulated in Arctic permafrost regions have been largely neglected in existing climate impact analyses. Here we identify about 4500 industrial sites where potentially hazardous substances are actively handled or stored in the permafrost-dominated regions of the Arctic. Furthermore, we estimate that between 13,000 and 20,000 contaminated sites are related to these industrial sites.”
In 2021 the Russian newswire Tass claimed the country was at “the finish line,” removing thousands of tons of radioactive material from the Arctic. However: “Since the 1990s, the Bellona Foundation has been involved in discovering and documenting nuclear hazards and radiation threats in Arctic Russia and based on that experience, the organization asserts that Likhachev’s announcement is untrue — Russia is nowhere near the “finish line” in these efforts.”
Throughout the Arctic, the issue of what to do for remediation or cleanup is compounded due to the loss of ground stability which limits access to impacted sites and use of heavy equipment. As such, permafrost melt creates a barrier to cleanup. The Langer study found that many former industrial-use facilities are now abandoned and difficult to access.

In the face of clear warnings, the scope of danger is increasing in real time because of new industrial development. There are no international environmental regulations for the Arctic as formulated for theAntarctic in the Madrid Protocol that requires transparent documentation of contamination and potential sources of hazardous substances.

Article mostly talks about Russia and it's "disposal" of radioactive waste materials in the Arctic, but the USA does it too. Difference is the USA buried its nuclear waste by alaskan native reservations and then sometimes would have a native hospitals built over it or bury it near drinking water resources.

Recall Project Chariot, whereby a deep water port was to be created by "peaceful" nuclear explosions. The project was cancelled but seemingly as if solely to ensure the locals were poisoned anyway, radioactive contaminated soil was trucked in from offsite and dumped in the Alaskan wilderness to determine its long-term health effects on water tables :psyduck:
