“The idea that the same amount of heat causes a greater change of entropy in a cold place than a hot one can seem strange. But consider this as an analogy: A noisy, crowded pub is next to a quiet library. Five rowdy people leave the pub. The din drops but by an indiscernible amount. The five stumble into the library. The noisiness there increases noticeably. When a group of raucous people enter a quiet place, the increase in disruption there is much greater than its fall in the boisterous place from which they came.”
