    About this ebook

    Short Story- Noah Adams initiated the countdown to an attempt to end global warming. The sun's expansion relegated Earth unfit for human life. Safe in the confines of his geothermic life-bubble beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, Noah and his associates fire the nuclear propulsion devises designed to increase Earth’s orbit and lower its surface temperature. Are Noah's calculations correct?

      Noah Adams initiated the countdown toward the start of an ambitious attempt to end global warming. Safe in the confines of their geothermic cooled life-bubble beneath the surface of the Atlantic Ocean, they prepared to fire the nuclear propulsion devises designed to increase Earth’s orbit and lower its surface temperature. Their command center resembled the confined interior of a submarine. The long narrow room creaked and groaned under the pressure of the deep-sea trench.
