Using cold water instead of warm water when baking bread can slow down yeast activation, resulting in a longer fermentation time. This may lead to a denser loaf with less rise, as the yeast may not become as active as it would with warm water. Additionally, the overall development of gluten could be affected, potentially resulting in a different texture. However, some bakers intentionally use cold water for specific bread styles that benefit from slower fermentation.

What does carbon dioxide have to do with baking powder?

Baking powder is mostly made of baking soda as well as a weak acid and a weak base. Adding water to baking soda causes it's ingrediants to combine to produce carbon dioxide. When you mix baking soda into a recipe and then add anything with water in it, the carbon dioxide created forms bubbles of gas inside the mixture. This causes the bread or whatever you are making to become fluffy instead of turning into a tough chewy brick when it is baked.
