At the opening of a recent conference in Cancun, the executive secretary of the U.N. Framework Convention on Climate Change invoked the Mayan goddess Ixchel as “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.”

This caused considerable snickering among our Christian commentariat at these strange and obviously false gods.

I think it is time to show again a cartoon that I suspect is going to get a lot of use.
