The future of weather modification

Abstract

When I look back twenty-five years to the early days of Weather Modification--the exciting achievements, the often bitter  arguments, the problems with early generators, the sometimes  faltering steps, the skepticisms, the overenthusiasms, the court proceedings, as well as the good fellowships such as we are experiencing at this meeting--I look forward to the next quarter century with great anticipation. Without question there will be more of the same! I sincerely hope, however, that we will collectively be  smart enough to avoid the serious pitfalls, that we will have learned how to get along with each other, and that we will temper our  enthusiasms with some degree of modesty.....
