BTW, If one was already profoundly hypothermic, would it be unwise to fart?

    No. Heat is defined as average kenetic energy. It doesn’t make a difference if that heat is in the atmosphere in a room, or in the body of a person in that room.

      not sure I agree. the heat contained in the body is warmer than room temp; transferring a portion of that heat out of the colon and diffusing it around the room has to bring the room’s temp up faster than the warm body (farter) transfers heat into the ambient room temp.
