Giant Robot Snake Fights Climate Change

Can I have one of each for Christmas?
I will live by "Going green" if it means I can get one of each.

I don't get it.
They're using a mechanical recreation of a snake driven extinct by a natural climate change(most likely downwards no less, given the animal is cold blooded) of 6-8 degrees about 58 to 60 million years ago to convince people that a climate change of 1 degree in the past 100 years is immediately life threatening and artificial.
Maybe I just don't get it, but this sounds like they just scammed some rich eco-nutjob into funding their making a giant robot snake just for the hell of it.

That's pretty cool, and thank MechaChrist it's nowhere near as creepy as BigDog.
It's probably the comical face that fixes it.

but i have to agree, it is totally awesome, but what does it do about climate change.

Lets's see where to start:
What they might be trying to say is that, say, our current society is the 50-foot, extinct snake, and America's dependacy on oil is the temperature. If America wasn't recieving fuel constantly, or if the snake didn't constantly have the correct outside temperature, America would grind to a halt pretty quickly. Now, in this metaphor, the other countries would be different species capable of surviving in the new temperatures, right? Wrong! They are the other snakes. Let's say America accounts for about half the snake population, and the snake population stands for the world economy. A drastic climate change in one part of the metaphorical world wipes out the America snake population, but will the other snakes be affected? Of course, because speaking for both metaphorical worlds, America is in a cushioned zone of the oil economy/temperature, meaning that it has enough money/is in the right place that the temperature changes will affect it last. So, what I'm saying that they are saying, is that we need to use less oil, or a severe outage will wipe us all out.
Please respond, I think I might've missed something...
The fact it is programed to save the climate at all costs and is filled with very adaptive viruses is nothing to worry about!
In Australia, they used to have snakes that grew up to the smaller, but still "Jay-zus WTF" size of 7 metres long, until about 50,000 years ago.BabyRaptor said:
Not coincidently, the first Australians arrived in Australia about 50,000 years ago.

At first I thought, that thing ain't so big. Then I noticed the little man in the spiderbot. this can only end badly for humanity. Skynet will use these machines to fuck our shit up.
