Peter F. Hamilton had a sci-fi scenario where that was a real problem. In the Greg Mandel books I believe. We invented cheap fusion, and build so many fusion reactors that the added heat creates insane hurricanes all over the planet (if I remember correctly)
But yeah, I think it'd take an unbelievable amount of heat production to change the atmosphere directly. But the thing is the sun does bombard us with a mind-blowing amount of heat energy every day, so that's why changing the amount that's trapped by the atmosphere by a very tiny amount can have devastating consequences.
