#2 EU leaders ended a Brussels summit with a three-year deal to pay 7.2bn euros (£6.5bn; $10.6bn) to ~~help poorer nations cope with climate change~~ fill the Cayman Islands bank accounts of UN apparatchiks, buy lots of new Toyota Land Cruisers (in white, please...and don't forget the leather upholstery and satellite radio) for NGO grandees, and undertake a Presidential Palace Improvement Program for Third World kleptocrats.

There. Fixed it.

#7 Worst of all, this money is not even new - it's made up of a recycling of past promises

I thought recycling was a good thing....

#8 Many, like Poland, say they are unable to give cash and have offered instead a percentage of the future sale of unused carbon credits.

I wish I had something really clever or intelligent to say in response to the above quote. But all I can come up with isthese people are living in fucking Bizzarro World.
