Why doesn't the variation of resistivity with temperature go both ways?

I've learnt that the variation of resistivity with temperature for a conductor is: $\rho=\rho_0(1+\alpha (T−T_0))$ Let's consider resistivity at 0℃ and 100℃. … Even if the relation only holds for smaller temperature differences, the discrepancy seems to hold, as the new value of α only seems to depend on the old one, as $\displaystyle \frac{α}{1+T'α}\, $. …
