With climate talks limping along, President Calderon has refused to give in to this slow momentum. Renewing his promise to real and sustainable change for the future, the President will look toward his nation to “rescue” the failing talks, all in anticipation of the summit on climate change this December in Mexico.

According to James Murray of BusinessGreen, “speaking in an interview with Reuters a few days ago, Mexico’s chief negotiator Fernando Tudela said the host nation accepted the Cancun summit would not deliver an international climate change treaty, but insisted a “spectacular breakthrough” was still possible.

Tudela said the Mexico summit would aim to deliver “a set of meaningful decisions” on issues such as climate financing and adaptation, while also engineering an end to the “regime standoff” that has marred past negotiations.

“We have a window of opportunity that is closing,” he said. “What we want to do is rescue these negotiations.”

According to official numbers, over 45,000 jobs were created throughout Mexico, helping to curb unemployment even further.

Finance Minister Ernesto Cordero announced a total job creation in the first seven months of the year numbered 559,070, with 45,697 formal jobs created in July alone.

Even more impressive is that many of these jobs were created in the retail sector, an industry which many thought to have been hit the hardest in the economic downturn. However, with retail sales on the rise, demand for new jobs has increased as well, pushing Mexico toward an even brighter future.

The ruins of Teotihuacan continue to yield mysterious treasures, as researchers have uncovered a new tunnel that is believed to lead to the burial remains of some of the most powerful rulers of the ancient civilization.

“I think the tunnel was the central element, the main element around which the rest of the ceremonial center was built,” archaeologist Sergio Gomez said. “This was the most sacred place.”

Nearly 50,000 objects made of jade, stone, shell, and pottery were also found within. The find is especially significant considering that no depiction of any rulers has ever been found in that area. Archaeologists hope that this dig will release a new and exciting glimpse into an ancient history.
