In this episode, the Arcturians explain the cause of global warming but distinguish it from mankind's irreverent treatment of Gaia. They explain a variety of other conditions of the population's current experience including the planet's transition from being quarantined from undue service-to-self interference to a more open environment, as evidenced by newly formed STS "portals" in Russia, the middle east, China, Venezuela, and India. We also discussed the historically low awareness and, consequently, the low evolutionary advancement of the majority of the Earth's population.
