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

    Expelling gas removes that bit of thermal energy (heat) from your system, but it shouldn’t alter your temperature in any way. Next, the warm gas mixes with air. The new gas mixture will have more heat than it had before, which will increase its average temperature a little bit. Probably not an easily measurable effect.
