BANGKOK, May 4 (Reuters) - Climate experts agreed on a U.N. report on Friday that said fighting global warming is affordable, the technology is available and stresses the need to brake the growth in greenhouse gas emissions, a senior delegate said.

"It's done," he told Reuters after five days of intense wrangling about how much the battle against climate change will cost and how to go about it. ((Reporting by David Fogarty, editing by Michael Battye; Reuters Messaging, darren.schuettler.reuters.com@reuters.net; +66 2 637 5610))
