Probably, by considering how there are several ways to "create" heat (burning, rubbing things together, as Oscar says), but none of "creating" cold. That makes more sense in a model where heat is a substance that can be transmitted from object to object, and cold is merely the absence of such a substance.
How do I know those processes are actually producing creating heat and not just destroying cold?
ETA: And to be clear, where by "I" I mean someone with roughly ancient Greek knowledge levels.
