The thermal scattering amplitude properly defined allows to generalize the perturbative unitarity relation to the T 0 0 case. Our result provides a model independent prediction of an enhanced pion-pion low-energy phase shift with the temperature and it has physical applications within the context of relativistic heavy ion collisions. %~
