It began with a prayer to the Mayan moon goddess, and it has quickly devolved into a junk science circus.
Delegates to the United Nation's Framework Convention on Climate Change in Cancun, Mexico were greeted by the Convention's Executive Secretary, Christiana Figueres, who prayed to the goddess Ixchel.
Calling Ixchel "the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving," Figueres prayed, "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."
Figueres continued, "Excellencies, the goddess Ixchel would probably tell you that a tapestry is the result of the skilful [sic] interlacing of many threads. I am convinced that twenty years from now, we will admire the policy tapestry that you have woven together and think back fondly to Cancun and the inspiration of Ixchel."
By the way, Ixchel is a goddess of fertility who is often depicted wearing a headdress entwined with a serpent. Claws substitute her hands and feet. Creepy.
The opening prayer to a pagan god set the tone to this year's climate confab, as representatives from 193 countries have been seen soaking up the 80-degree Mexican weather by day and sucking up the adult beverages bearing tiny umbrellas at night. The U.K.'s energy and environment secretary, Chris Huhne, was especially excited to finally arrive -- he had been delayed in London because of the some of the worst English winter weather in decades.
And then there has been the hot air emanating from the mouths of bloviating environmentalists and policymakers who are trying to maintain their relevance, after a year in which their claims of human-caused global warming have fallen flat.

the UN is a crock, and it shouldn’t surprise anyone that anything they do is also a crock
Climate change is bunk. Its really a cover for redistributing the wealth and giving the government the power to run our lives in the name of protecting the environment. That’s wrong. But don’t wait for our latter socialists to acknowledge it.
So many uneducated , moronic sheep.

Ah, yes. Let’s go back to the pure religion of the Mayans, where human sacrifices were commonplace. Hearts were cut out of victims to appease the gods.
Do these people even think about what they are doing?
No one objects to an opening prayer to a pagan god but try one to the real One and watch the animals howl...
Al Gore was extremely angry when he learned he was replaced as the climate god. He responded with chilling temps; refusing to even show up.
They are just smart enough to figure out how to live the high life on someone else's dime, all the while demonizing the person paying the bill. Morally deprived hypocrites with a severe attitude problem!
Maybe he can throw himself into a volcano...
Your post 8 is hilarious!
Those attendees are lushes screwing the nights away with each other. I would bet less than 10 percent are paying for their own trip. Oh, and the “Ixchel told me to tell you” line is just precious.
“Calling Ixchel “the goddess of reason, creativity and weaving,”. . .”
I don’t know, maybe it’s just me, but if I was the goddess of reason and creativity, I’d pretty much spin off the small stuff like weaving to the odd demigod here and there.
One would think that reason and creativity would keep any garden-variety goddess busy enough. Maybe this Ixchel does the weaving deal as kind of hobby on the side. But given the state of current “climate science”, my recommendation is that she focus a bit harder on the “reason” end of her job, and maybe lay off the “weaving” for a bit.
Maybe they ask her help in creatively weaving some reasonable-sounding lies?
