2016 marked the hottest year on record, continuing a decades-long warming trend. Scientists at NASA’s Goddard Institute for Space Studies (GISS) analyzed global measurements, confirming Earth’s average surface temperature has risen approximately 2.0°F (1.1°C) since the late 19th century.

This significant temperature increase is largely attributed to human emissions into the atmosphere.

Claudiu Murgan's latest science fiction novel, *Water Entanglement*, explores water as a living, angry force. Set in 2055, limnologist Cherry Mortinger (Hayyin) leads a revolution against corporations abusing the earth's water, aiming to prove its memory and overwhelming rage.

Murgan, a Romanian-born Canadian author, crafts an imaginative tale that brings awareness to the very real water crisis. Fifty percent of royalties from *Water Entanglement* will benefit Project Aware: www.projectaware.org.

Independent analyses by NASA and NOAA confirm that Earth's global surface temperatures in 2019 ranked as the second-warmest since 1880. Temperatures were 2°F (1.1°C) warmer than the late 19th century, second only to 2016.

This data continues the planet's long-term warming trend, with the five warmest years on instrumental record all occurring in the last five years. More information is available at NASA's press release.

His radical yet simple message has influenced economists like Amartya Sen and Joseph Stiglitz, and he has shared it at Davos and the United Nations.

Ricard asserts this ancient wisdom benefits both society and individuals. Despite its simplicity, the text questions why implementing this solution to our 21st-century predicaments proves so challenging.
