    There is method to their madness though: by helping to increase global temperatures, the Scottish government hopes to lure holidaymakers away from Mallorca and Corfu. Troon will become the holiday destination du jour, with hundreds of thousands flocking there every summer, thereby boosting tourist revenue and the Scottish GDP.
