The Secret Is Out About Global Warming

This morning I was greeted with a beautiful, sunny, warm day. Being surprised by this sudden jump into spring (when I left for New Jersey, it was still dreary and cold), I opened the windows, breathed in the delicious fresh air and let it fill the house.

Then I took Cordy to preschool and made a quick trip to the grocery. I never thought to check the thermostat for the furnace before I left. Turns out it was set to a temperature warmer than that fresh morning air.

When I came home, hot air was blasting from the vents as the furnace valiantly tried to heat the planet.

So apparently we now know the secret to global warming: dumb people like me who leave the furnace running with the windows open. I’m sorry, everyone. Maybe I can reverse it by driving with my air conditioning on and the windows down?

  1. Wow, Christina! That’s REALLY stupid. I’d NEVER do anything like that. Nope. Not me.

    *ahem*

  2. ha! You meant well. 🙂

  3. You are not the only one that has had this happen. I am constantly forgetting to turn our heater off before I open the windows.

  4. I swear I’m having deja vu. I think I’ve done this before. Don’t tell anyone. 😉

  5. I KNEW you were the cause of global warming!!!

  6. That is totally something I would do.

  7. oh well – things happen – very one forgets some things! We still can’t open the windows because of the pollen still – oh well soon I hope!

  8. I have had this happen. Especially during Spring when it is cold at night and a bit warmer during the day.

    I do this crap all the time. I’m the worst at telling my thermostat to hold at like 75 because I was cold right that second and then coming home hours later realizing that I’ve left my furnace on full blast all day long…and then I actually wonder why I get a $350.00 power bill
