This weekend in theaters in Los Angeles, and in coming weeks in
Phoenix, San Diego and Atlanta, a powerful new documentary premiers. Look
closely at the early screening locations and you just might guess the topic:
water scarcity.

“Last Call at the Oasis” does far more than recount the alarming woes of our
country’s most water-stressed regions; it’s a beautifully produced, detailed
picture of an immense global crisis bearing down on us as we speak – and
thankfully a roadmap of sorts to what we can do about it.

The past twelve months were the warmest twelve months in U.S.
history, said NOAA's National Climatic Data Center (NCDC) on Tuesday, in their
monthly "State of the Climate" report.
