Gases are less soluble at higher temperatures because dissolving a gas in a liquid is similar to condensation and heat is evolved during the process. Hence it is an exothermic.
According to Le Chatelier's Principle, the solubility of a gas or solid in lquid is inversily proportional to temperature for exothermic reactions and directly proportional to endothermic reactions.
Therefore, as temperature increases gases are less soluble in a liquid.
