When a team of researchers from the University of Delaware traveled to Africa two years ago to search for exemplary chickens, they weren't looking for plump thighs or delicious eggs.
They were seeking out birds that could survive a hotter planet.
The researchers were in the vanguard of food scientists, backed by millions of dollars from the federal government, racing to develop new breeds of farm animals that can stand up to the hazards of global warming.

And they raise chickens in Minnesota and Arkansas. Wide range of temps. the chickens seem to adapt nicely.
Someone sold the Feds a cartload of B.S. Here in Mississippi farmers deal with heat and extreme humidity which in combination is a death sentence to many animals. They are able to make a profit raising animals that are adapted to this heat and humidity. The genetics of the chicken are based in the jungles of Malaysia where they originated.
Given a choice between global warming and another Ice Age, I’ll take more heat every time.
Food grows a lot better in tropical conditions than it would under a sheet of mile-thick ice.
So crank up that global thermostat! You betcha!
"This was the moment when the rise of the oceans began to slow,and our planet began to heal.
Welcome King Barack "Canute" Obama the Great.....
...Obama issues an Executive Order to the Sun...
....to increase it's magnetic field....
and make a good crop of sunspots before elections in 2016....
(PhysOrg.com) -- Sunspot formation is triggered by a magnetic field, which scientists say is steadily declining. They predict that by 2016 there may be no remaining sunspots, and the sun may stay spotless for several decades.
The last time the sunspots disappeared altogether was in the 17th and 18th century, and coincided with a lengthy cool period on the planet known as the Little Ice Age....and lasted 400 years.
Good luck surviving with less electricity and GE modified seeds.

Boy, those chickens are gonna have a hard time in
the coming ICE age...
More B/S, Gag!
Problem solved. Eat more lizard. They taste like chicken, or so I’m told. Makes for some nice boots too.
Next problem...
You better put some heat in those chicken coops too.....
the idiots are having a hard time with their “settled science” as to what the weather will do...All they “know” is that man is causing it and it and something must be taxed!
We have money for this while other programs are going broke?
Add to list of great human endeavors and institutions that “progressives” have degraded into a macabre joke: science.
AGW/Climate-change is not science. Science utilizes the Scientific Method. AGW/Climate-change utilized inductive/deductive reasoning. Inductive/deductive reasoning is not science.
What a scam, some researcher has use the fake “climate change” to get funding [our tax dollars] to play with chickens & animals.
Chickens suffer when it’s hot? The domestic chicken originated in Southeast Asia where it’s darn hot. The jungle bird was tamed and proved so useful that farmers worldwide now raise it.
What we NEED are”Scientists”Not Equipped To Survive”Climate Change”!!Then they would Leave Us Alone!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
I understand the Schick Razor company is underwriting the project.
What chickenshicks.
Good God...these animals routinely handle temperature swings of 100 degrees during the seasons, and they can’t handle a change in average temperature of 1 degree over 100 years? The stupidity is beyond belief.
Besides, with the coming ice age, they better prepare for a 1-2 degree DECREASE in temperatures. The idiots misread the plus and minus signs again.
The recently developed Gallus Liberalus Domesticus may hold the promise that scientists seek. Not only can it withstand hotter weather, but it comes complete with a tiny hemp bag tucked under its left wing and a pair of miniature Ugg boots. Most significantly, this chicken can reliably vote Democrat with its beak.
Egads!
