Within limits,as temperature increases,so does the amount of O2 released from the hemoglobin.Heat is a byproduct of the metabolic reations of all cells and the heat released by contracting muscle fibers tends to raise body temperature.Metabolically active cells require more O2 and liberate more acids and heat.The acids and heat, in turn, promote release of O2 from oxyhemoglobin(oxy binded with hemoglobin in blood).
So, increased in temperature caused the rate of respiration to increase too.Because O2 tends to be released from the hemoglobin compared to when the weather is cold.This explain why during fever,a person will breath faster than normal person.
In contrast,during hypothermia(lowered body temperature) cellular metabolism slows and the need for O2 is reduced,and more O2 remains bound to hemoglobin.
Please check my grammar too.Im sux with my grammar coz English is my 3rd language.So, please check it.Hope this helps ya!

i would guess we have more examples of sloppy science here? In the good book it says that respiration is the process by which food is oxidised, CO2, water vapour and heat energy released (give or take a few steps in the metabolic cycle). These processes are mediated by certain proteins called 'enzymes'.
Enzymes in the human body curiously enough work most efficiently at 37degC. So although there are adaptive responses to temperature change like shivering and panting, rate of respiration reaches a max at body temp and declines rapidly after that. for example at a body temp of over 42deg your muscles etc begin to cook, the proteins 'denature'

Have you ever seen a dog in a car on a hot day? They start breathin really hard. The question is why! As you exhale, heat is given off into the exhaled air which is dispersed into the atmosphere. So one strategy for cooling the body when it becomes overheated is to increase the respiratory rate, which will help to cool to body down.

It increases cellular activity and the respiration process so growth is faster

when the temperature increase,the rate of respiration increase too

THE RATE OF RESPIRATION INCREASES WHEN THE TEMPERATURE RISES (SORRY THIS IS ALL CAPITAL MY COMPUTER GETS STUCK ON CAPS LOCK SOMETIMES)
