Infestation of the Humans (homo sapiens sapiens) found at Point Pleasant
Park and Elsewhere
                               ____________________

Recent observations have confirmed that humans, an exotic species originally
confined to the plains of Africa, have made their way to Point Pleasant Park
and all other eco-regions of Earth as well.

Humans have been seen to construct trails, build large observation towers,
remove dead trees, gather in large groups mostly through the summer months,
and generally stream through the park on the trails, stopping occasionally
to feed on food they have carried into the park.

Rain with acid deposition created by humans burning coal they have brought
up from the earth, far from the park, is causing stress to other living
things in the park and elsewhere.  Large ships filled with oil made from the
bodies of long dead organisms have been seen traveling past the park.
Humans are observed burning this liquid, causing a spread of co2 in the
atmosphere, leading to a warming of the whole Earth.  This warming trend is
affecting the earth in a negative way, as species are unable to adapt to the
sudden climate changes brought forth by the human.

This exotic species has spread so rapidly and increased its numbers so
quickly that experts note that the Cenozoic phase of Earth's reality is
rapidly being brought to a close.  It is noted that the human has destroyed
forest and other natural habitat with awesome power, in an attempt to create
the mammoth structures and tools it uses.  It has been observed that certain
small ruling groups of humans have been able to subjugate most others for
the benefit and extreme luxury of this ruling elite.

A panel of experts recently gathered to discuss the human problem.  Some
thought that the species would either wipe itself out or reduce its numbers
if left alone, as its habitat was destroyed.  Others felt that more radical
measures were called for, but it was unclear how to proceed.   One panelist
noted that the human had a large brain that occasionally had been able to
bring about rapid changes in human behaviour, so that there was a line of
thinking that the human might adapt to its habitat in ways that did not lead
to destruction of all other living things and the Earth itself.  It was
agreed that there was not enough evidence at this time to make any solid
predictions about this possibility.
