The Everglades has a lot of problems that aren't related to the pythons, resulting from the encroachment of subdivisions and water management and yeah, rising temperatures. The decline in species was already happening before the pythons were introduced... okay, certainly such a massive non-native predator is contributing to the problem.
But I worry that the pythons are become such an attention-grabbing media hog, that nobody's paying any attention to or addressing all the other, likely even more serious threats to the Everglades habitat.
