At warmer temperatures the carbon dioxide can more easily come out of solution (form bubbles and "fizz") -- when the soda is cold, more of the the CO2 stays in the liquid state. Agitating the soda, whether warm or cold, will cause a fairly massive amount to turn to gas - hence the explosive fizzing if you shake or drop a can of soda or beer.
