Yes. It will increase it the amount of water it took to make the cube. BUT water does not take up as much volume as ice, so you will not have as much in your glass as you did with the ice cube, but you will have more than the liquid before the ice was added.

Yes..and no.
Yes...because the melted ice cube's volume is added to the volume of liquid (minus a tiny correction for volume expansion in ice that is lost in melting).
If you are asking about *starting* with a glass of water with ice, and what the volume will be after the ice melts, the answer is still yes, since part of the ice floats above the liquid water, and as that melts, it is added to the liquid portion.
If by "quantity" you mean a strict chemical definition, the answer is *no*, since ice IS water in the solid state, and the total amount of H2O in the system is unchanged.

Ice is water, therefore it's like asking .. if I add more water to my glass of water will I have more water. Um, yes :)
The level of water in the glass may go down if the ice cubes had large bubbles inside them. That trapped area will disappear when they melt and therefore the volume in the glass will be less. Also while you are waiting for the ice to melt some water may evaporate depending on the temperature in the room.
Now, about global warming ...

No. It will actually reduce slightly since the ice is lighter than water and so contracts in volume when it melts. If the water level is already full, adding a cube of ice may cause water to overflow and will give you poor results. Better to do it with a calibrated measuring jar with only water level about half full.

No, the total quantity of water increased when you ADDED the ice cube, not AFTER it melts.

Since the ice cubes displace an amount of liquid water equal to its weight the water level will stay the same. Please note that the ice cubes stick up above the water level until they melt. I'm a liberal.

yes it will as the ice cube is made up of frozen water and when added to glass of water will increase the volume of water in it.

Fill your glass with Ice
then fill to rim with water
wait til Ice melts
you will see
it doesnt overflow at all
coool
