During normal breathing, the brain is stimulated to breath with increasing acidity as a result of CO2 concentration from basic metabolic processes. The brain is quite selfish and only really wants to maintain it's pH which should be at a range of 7.3-7.45, and will not tolerate any decrease.
In patients who have a chronic respiratory disorder with things like COPD. The brain has become accustomed to excessive acidic content, and is now stimulated by the Hypoxic drive or by low oxygen content.
Homeostasis is very important and your body function or the enzymes here because of your body being in homeostasis. If increase or decrease in temp, your body will halt all processes and try to readjust your body back to normal first because if not, then a lot of other processes would be affected negatively as well and you could potentially get ill.
