Christiana Figueres, executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change, invoked the ancient jaguar goddess Ixchel in her opening statement to delegates gathered in Cancun, Mexico, noting that Ixchel was not only goddess of the moon, but also "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving. May she inspire you -- because today, you are gathered in Cancun to weave together the elements of a solid response to climate change, using both reason and creativity as your tools."

What time is the live sacrifice and the tearing out of the heart? Where? Who gets sacrificed?
Looks like Cro-magnons didn’t get all the Neanderthals 35,000 years ago. Get the atlatls out. We got some hunting to do.
