Ah I see. The OP. Yeah, I'm more than a little dubious on the study without seeing the methodology. This quote kinda sums up why:

"If you're rearing outside, then the bird is using a little more of its feed to keep itself warm, or simply to keep itself cool in hot climates."

His theory being that it takes more feed, hence contributes to global warming if a chicken has to expend its own calories for temperature regulation. Yeah it sure is a good thing that AC and heating units in factory famrs have no impact on global warming whatsoever. Oh wait...
So as you've posted the article, kindly post the study so that we may ensure this gentleman used all the relevant data.
