The reaction CO2(g) + H2(g) CO(g) + H2O(g) is nonspontaneous at room temperature but becomes spontaneous

Question:

The reaction
CO2(g) + H2(g) → CO(g) + H2O(g)
is nonspontaneous at room temperature but becomes spontaneous at a much higher temperature. What can you conclude from this about the signs of ∆Ho and ∆So, assuming that the enthalpy and entropy changes are not greatly affected by the temperature change? Explain your reasoning.
