Had a call from a senior football official and his view on this ruling by FIFA to ensure Ronaldo gets to play at the World Cup: “Unprecedented.” Was a different precedent last year when somehow qualification rules emerged to ensure FIFA’s Club World Cup had a Lionel Messi team in it.

In a global energy context, electricity is about 20% of 'final energy consumption', with the rest met primarily by fossil fuels. In a climate context, a 50% chance of not exceeding 1.5°C has a remaining carbon budget of ~170GtCO2, or 4 years of 'current' emissions. For "well below 2°C" it's 14years.
