I´ve heard of the idea of oil being used to effect weather.

I suppose if you covered most of the world´s oceans you could also change climate by reducing evaporation and making the planet absorb more sunlight. One would need a sophisticated mathematical model to figure out what that will cause.

However, oil spills eventually break up and it is unlikely that enough oil will be dumped into the ocean to cover the entire thing.
