# World Cup stadiums run industrial air-conditioning in a desert summer calendar

Date: 2022

## The fact

The 2022 World Cup used heavily air-conditioned stadiums in a desert state, a completed energy-intensity choice Tamim’s government owned as host.

## Context

Ashghal and the Supreme Committee built cooling. He hosted. A winter calendar reduced but did not erase cooling loads. He did not write a UNFCCC NDC by cooling a pitch.

World Cup opening is the same day as spectacle. LNG expansion is the fossil parent.

The emir of Qatar is head of state and, in practice, of government under the 2004 constitution as applied. He does not write FIFA statutes, UN Security Council resolutions, Hamas military orders, or ILO conventions by himself.

## Evidence and sources

Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy carries the official instrument or communique. Reuters records the same dated act independently.

## Significance

Labour harm stays on other dates.

## What is established and what is not

Established: 2022 World Cup stadium industrial cooling in Qatar, independently reported.

Not established: a unique later national emissions coefficient from kickoff, or that cooling caused migrant deaths.

What would change the picture: a contradictory original with a different date or name, a later repeal, a court that vacated the instrument, or a measured series that can be argued, with lag and alternatives, as a consequence of this instrument rather than of later institutions.

The date is the date of this instrument, not a licence to back-date every later harm or benefit.

The Supreme Committee built cooling. Generators and gas supplied. UNFCCC parties still write NDCs.. A later repeal, court stay, or successor order would be a different Fact with a different date. That pair identifies World Cup stadiums run industrial air-conditioning in a desert summer calendar, not a later speech about World Cup stadiums run industrial air-conditioning in a desert summer calendar.

Co-authors and later implementers named in Context remain on the file. World Cup stadiums run industrial air-conditioning in a desert summer calendar on 2022-11-20 is not a licence to treat every later Supreme Committee for Delivery & Legacy communique as this same act. If a later repeal, stay, or successor decree exists, it needs its own date and its own row. This dossier refuses to average World Cup stadiums run industrial air-conditioning in a desert summer calendar into a personality. The contribution described on this Person row is limited to He hosted. The Supreme Committee built cooling. Generators and gas supplied. UNFCCC parties still write NDCs. That limit is the alternative to treating office-holding as authorship of every later series.
