It's really simple. Squeeze (compress) a gas and it get's hotter. Release the gas now and it gets colder.
I used to commercial dive so I guess the gas laws were always kind of special to me

Why are stinky farts generally warmer and quieter than regular farts?
(Question submitted by many, many people!)
Most fart gas comes from swallowed air and consists largely of nitrogen and carbon dioxide, the oxygen having been absorbed by the time it reaches the **** opening. These gases are odorless, although they often pick up other (and more odiferous) components on the way through the bowel. They emerge from the anus in fairly large bubbles at body temperature. A person can often achieve a good sound with these voluminous farts, but they are commonly (but not always!) mundane with respect to odor, and don't feel particularly warm.
Another major source of fart gas is bacterial action. Bacterial fermentation and digestion processes produce heat as a byproduct as well as various pungent gases.The resulting bubbles of gas tend to be small, hot, and concentrated withstinky bacterial metabolic products. These emerge as the notorious, warm,SBD (Silent-But-Deadly), often in amounts too small to produce a good sound,but excelling in stench

Hate those "extra metabolic products" that escape unknowingly!
Thank you Doctor T. I knew you would have the correct answer.

The ideal gas law applies here as well.

PV=nRT I think Charles' Law posted earlier is derived from it.
