Thank you for coming today. Tonight, I'd like to report on our study into weather control. What I want to do is to show you how we've made our first successful steps in developing practical techniques to manipulate weather effectively. We all know that the problem of changing weather has always been one of the most important issues since time immemorial. Great historical events, some discoveries and just ordinary people’s lives are all strongly dependant on natural calamities, unexpected rainfalls and heat waves, or even minor changes in the conditions of the atmosphere. How many times have you wished you weren't under the weather? Now imagine how different and how more controllable our life would be, if we could tune up those whimsical "cats and dogs" to our moods, desires and plans! Wouldn't it brighten up the day if we could come rain or shine? My talk will be in three parts… Good evening! My name is ____. Thank you for coming today.
