I'm Sam. And I'm Neil. It's raining again, Sam. I've had enough. It's been drizzling. That's raining lightly轻轻地. All week. I know what you mean, Neil. Living in a wet country like Britain, I sometimes wish I could push a magic button and stop it raining. And ironically具有讽刺意味地, people living in hot, dry countries need rain but don't get it. If only we could control控制 the weather. Ah, well, it's funny you should say that, Neil, because you're not the first person to have that idea.
In this programme, we'll be hearing about cloud seeding and geoengineering. Two controversial有争议的 methods scientists are using to manipulate操纵 or change the weather. And as usual, we'll be learning some new vocabulary as well. Something that stops it drizzling sounds good to me, Sam. I hate to disappoint使失望 you, Neil, but these ideas involve包含 making more, not less rain. We'll learn the details soon, but first I have a question for you about the wettest place in the world.
