In the Daily Mail today it has an article that in 2071 Caithness will be basking in sunshine, EU report has identified northern scotland as a major beneficiary of the effects of global warming within the next 60 years.
Experts believe rising temperatures will spark a massive housing and tourism boom as millions are forced north when countries like greece, italy and spain become too hot to be habitable.
Within the next 25years, researchers claim that money will be spent in caithness with people travelling to caithness for cooler climes.
EU report states: The more tourists stay home or go to other destinations, the larger the distributional impact in Europe will be, with northern countries in particular the main beneficiaries, while fewer people will perish of the cold in the north, tens of thousands more will die of the heat in the south.
With this happening the prices of housing will rocket, house prices could rise as much as 100% over the next ten years as people look north for a place to live.
So here we were all wondering why all this new shops and housing was being built, wondering whats going to be coming to Caithness ........................YIPPIE WE ARE GETTING SOME SUN lol
only moan is, i dont want to wait till 2071
