The Stefan Boltzmann Law gives a relation between the total energy radiated per unit area and the temperature of a blackbody. Specifically it states that, $$ j= \sigma {T}^4$$ Now using the thermodynamic derivation of the energy radiated we can derive the above relation, which leads to $T^4$. But is there any intuitive reason for the $T^4$ term?
