I swear, that movie did more harm than good. Here's my take on things... very briefly.

The flash freezing you see in the movie... physically impossible.
The giant, planet-sized storm... nope.

Here's reality:
More carbon-dioxide in the atmosphere = higher surface temperatures
Higher temperatures = less ice and snow, expansion of water in the oceans, more water vapor in the air
More water vapor in the air = more greenhouse effect = higher temperatures
Less ice and snow = less reflection of sunlight (and higher temperatures), more water in the oceans
More water in the oceans = Oceans less salty = slowdown of deep ocean currents

All of these could lead to dramatic changes in weather patterns that would be very hard (and expensive) to adapt to... and that's really the worry. And once you change the climate, it would be very hard to change it back the way it was. And the whole thing is so complex that it's hard to tell exactly what the final results of the meddling might be.
