What is the effect of temperature on hemoglobin oxygen dissociation curve?

Increase in environment temperature causes a right shift of the oxygen dissociation curve. This is because the bond between oxygen and haemoglobin is thermo-labile and therefore weakens with increase in temperature. Therefore, the haemoglobin becomes less efficient at picking up oxygen but more efficient at releasing it.
