EU leaders have agreed to pay 7.2bn euros (£6.5bn; $10.6bn) over the next three years to help developing nations adapt to climate change.

Announcing the deal, Swedish Prime Minister Fredrik Reinfeldt said all 27 EU member nations would contribute and that the EU was doing its "fair share".

UK Prime Minister Gordon Brown said the UK's promise, at £500m ($800m; 553m euros) a year was the highest.

Is it too early for a beer?

Cheers Cap'n. I'll have an Old Peculiar please.

Remember Saddam Hussein's 'scorched earth' policy when he left Kuwait, good old Gordon is doing the same to the UK. Evil man.
