Why does our metabolic rate increase in warmer climates?

My first thought is that the metabolic rate should decrease since you lose less energy (heat) to your surroundings. But I read everywhere that climate increases it instead.

Googled it and it says that a warmer climate means there’s more kinetic energy between molecules, allowing the molecules involved in chemical reactions to come together more often…

Your metabolism can increase with warming Temps, but will rapidly decline at higher Temps (didn’t give ranges of temp till you decline, but I’m sure you can search it too)

Just my attempt
