With United Nations climate negotiators facing an uphill battle to advance their goal of reducing emissions linked to global warming, it's no surprise that the woman steering the talks appealed to a Mayan goddess Monday.
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."

I see nothing wrong with this, she is just stating the traditions of her country and most likely is a Christian.
We have in Christianity Santa Claus, Saint Patrick, Saint George that slew dragons, Astrology, and who knows how many superstitions.
Why do we put up a Christmas tree each year, why do Christians wear a cross about their neck, why do we have Fat Tuesday or Lent.??
Why do farmers plant crops by the time of the moon phases or castrate cattle, horses and sheep by the moon.?? Dig fence posts by the moon so they will hold.?
Where did the term Lunetic come from, is it because the crime rate goes up just before and after a full moon???
One can be a Christian and still believe that there are things they do not understand about the moons effect on life on earth, one can even find a Saint or Goddess to if you will to try to explain the moons gravity and the effect on earth.
I defy you to find an Christian belief that has not borrowed from the Pagans some sort of belief and Incorporated it into Christianity.
