It just comes from a fundamental misunderstanding of how the universe operates.

They say oh well it's cold outside so how can it make it warm inside? They say this because they have absolutely no understanding of where the concept of a temperature comes from. They think that if it's 10° outside then there is 10° of energy outside presumably out to some arbitrary distance, because some places are warmer, but they don't really think that bit through. They don't realise that's not how it works.
