Yes, global warming melting the Greenland ice cap could disrupt the Gulf Stream, which brings an enormous amount of energy towards northern Europe, and moderates the winter.
I would imagine similar things could happen to other oceanic currents.

Not exactly its very complicated....it can make the winters warmer as well but it could also send us in to an early ice age. rent the movie The Unconvient Truth and its explains why and how global warming works. Note the part about how the Earth (figuratively) Inhales and Exhales based on rotation.

that is a great question. I have heard that before but im not sure. This past summer, we had record heat all over the country, with 104 in denver, to 117 in south dakota, then buffalo gets 2 feet of snow in eary october. But the winters here in va aren't as cold as they used to be, but the summers are hotter. So i guess it depends where you live.

Because the earth is warming, the weather is weirdening, one can expect the challenges of forecasting to increase exponentially. The jury is out about what overall weather we might expect over the next few decades, they all agree that we will see a new normal.

Yes, it certainly can. There is strong evidence the Arctic Ocean is getting warmer. So cold sinking water there won't continue to suck the Gulf Stream from the Caribbean to Western Europe, and places like Britain and Ireland will become as cold as Labrador. If I lived there I'd be shitting broken glass.

Global warming increases temperatures world wide.

Yes, it can. Global warming, more properly called "climate change", is resulting in more severe weather conditions of all kinds: drought, hurricanes, snowstorms, ice storms, you name it.

It can but usually warmer creating a melt which has the potential to start another ice age

Yes it can affect the weather a lot.

Weather will get more extreme.
