"SMHI: Coldest record of the century broken in Vittangi
Updated 16 January 2024 Published 15 January 2024
The lowest temperature of the 2000s so far in Sweden has been measured in Vittangi. This was announced by SMHI, whose climate station showed 44.6 degrees below zero on 5 January. With some delay, the record has now been recorded.
It was the climate station in Vittangi that after a break came in with a total minimum temperature of
- Since it is a value from the regular measuring equipment, we have no problem accepting it. It will thus be both this month's and the entire century's lowest temperature so far in Sweden, writes meteorologist Sverker Hellström on SMHI's website.
‘Order restored’ - Lapland coldest
The previous coldest record in the 2000s was from 2001 in Storbo in Dalarna. Now the record has been broken.
- You could say that order has now been restored with a station in Lapland as the coldest, writes SMHI.
Broke the climate station in Karesuando
SVT has previously reported that the climate station in Karesuando could not cope with the cold during the latest cold snap.
It gave up at 43.6 degrees below zero.
- On good grounds, we can assume that it was even lower when it was at its coldest. But whether it was lower than in Vittangi cannot be said, writes SMHI."
SMHI: Århundradets köldrekord slaget i Vittangi
2000-talets hittills lägsta temperatur i Sverige har uppmätts i Vittangi. Det meddelar SMHI vars klimatstation visade 44,6 minusgrader den 5 januari. Med viss eftersläpning har rekordet nu noterats.www.svt.se

With the exception of Syrah, the ~'competitors' are very small. Perhaps the focus of this conference is rather different?I suspect that either MP and MT are tired of explaining the same thing over and over again, or they no longer consider it necessary because we are just waiting for the damn government to finally do their jobs in the ministries, or Talga is leaving the playing field out of compassion because of Syrah's current problems?

Swiss battery specialist 8inks raises three million euros
The spin-off 8inks from Schlieren in Switzerland has developed a multilayer coating technology for lithium-ion battery production. Founderful and other investors are now providing 8inks with three million euros to scale up the already patented technology.
These idiots seem like secessionist to me now. Like the group a future without mining we all know. LoL - someone in that group keeps asking the same simple question over and over again to their guru from Kiruna and everyone else: What does the future look like without mines?
These idiots who are torpedoing our future are everywhere here.
"France looks to lithium – but can projects get off the ground?
After years of deindustrialisation, France is contriving a battery boom for both gigafactories and domestic lithium production to serve them – but what are the hurdles that stand in the way of mineral developers?
...
For one side, mining activity is “outmoded” and outdated, fundamentally dangerous and polluting. For the other, technical innovation will make progress possible, with an objective of less impact. It is a debate that rages on within the affected area of France and it is not yet clear which vision will win out.

There are two aspects. One is solved by their own behavior and is therefore uncritical. No one who makes responsible decisions takes these arguments seriously any more.
That's exactly why I posted the thing from the anti-group. The title of the group is Yes! to a future without mines. And the question, What does the future look like without mines? cannot and will not be answered by any of them. They live in their bubble and echo chamber and do not want to imagine what their lives would be like without raw materials out of a mine. The bad thing is that, like every splinter group of opinions, they have power over society.
Yeah the comment on Salzburg was sarcasm. It's a beautiful city and stunning landscape. But it is also, a town that literally grew from and is named after mining. That's why I thought it was a good example of mining as a part of cultural heritage that clearly hasn't been as disastrous as people make it out to be.
Hey!Ok, lets have a little game! Now we have all Permits in place (or under way to be in place) for offtake agreements. I think it was the case before the detailed plan but now I think its undeniably so. So lets have a little game.
* Question: What will be the volume of the first off-take agreement for Talga in terms of fraction of total production capacity? Closest to the real value can choose the music for the party!
I say 60%, i.e. about 12mtpa Talnode-C
* Question: what will be the offtake price per mt for the first offtake of Talnode-C? Closest to the real value gets to open the bottle of Champagne!
I say about 8000 USD/mt
Ohhh, ohh ohh, I have 2 more guessing games:
* Question: who is going to be our first customer? Correct answer wins the Champagne shower of the bottle opened above!
I personally have no clue. I say its going to be Panasonic!
* Question: When do you think the off take is going to be announced? Day of the ASX ANN counts here, not rumors in the news or actual day of the signature. Closest to the real date AFTER the date passes wins. Anyone guessing too early is out! Winner gets to be king of the clowns!
I say: February 20th!
What are your guesses?
A very hearty Prost on today‘s welcome news. Thanks to the Number 1 news anchor in the business, Cosors for breaking the news on the permit early!Ok, lets have a little game! Now we have all Permits in place (or under way to be in place) for offtake agreements. I think it was the case before the detailed plan but now I think its undeniably so. So lets have a little game.

Slight correction- that should read 6ktpa as Stage 1 is 19,500tpa of finished anode. So, roughly a third to the first customer and then the balance shared amongst another 2+ customers to diversify risk.
It had to be said 
I hope that doesn't come across as exaggerated or spiteful. A lot has built up over the past few years. I would never have reckoned with these opponents of active climate protection and certainly not with the means they are using.As I said in the other thread I'm fed up with the incessant lies, distortions, blanking out parts of reality and, above all, the fear-mongering.
Actually, they themselves should be sued for sedition. I am simply fed up with it.
The Sami are lying when they repeatedly claim that this mine would block the migration routes. To supposedly prove this, they use the SGU drawing with the red line mapping the national interest. They deliberately ignore the planned and declared dimensions of the mine. It is also not true that grazing will be obstructed. We here know their own maps which I have shown for you. It is fear-mongering to speak of genocide. It is incitement to claim that this project threatens the existence of the Sami culture. The perfect breeding ground and dissemination platform is Amnesty, which actually makes a lot of sense, but makes no effort to filter out lies, misinformation and fear-mongering. I saw this many times also in other cases and countries. Not only once did I have the feeling that this good and sensible organisation had been undermined and hijacked. The term genocide is thrown around inflationarily. Genocide stickers are everywhere.
It is fear-mongering and agitation and lies by some local residents and environmentalists to claim that mining will pollute the rivers. Water quality is closely monitored and if limits are exceeded, the appropriate action is taken. If the values are too high, that's it for Talga and their mining. It's as if they were against a new company because the working conditions could violate human rights. It is also untrue that this project is only a financial burden for Kiruna (see article by Svemin for example). He seems to have never heard of the concept of supply and demand. Soon Talga will be offering jobs. And the employees will certainly not be sleeping in tents. And they certainly won't be stockpiling their food.
Fortunately, it is of national interest and must be protected.
We are living in extreme times, as we can see from the events in the USA. Fears were also fuelled there in order to influence the election, from both sides. They have only two.
Somehow, more and more people seem to be throwing common sense overboard and giving in to lies, misinformation and distortions of reality, consciously allowing fear to take control over themselves.
