It's more likely the other way around. Ocean currents affect ocean life. Perhaps in a subtle way, since all life on the planet affects the atmosphere, especially the algae in the oceans releasing oxygen, that ocean life affects the weather, which in turn affects the ocean currents. It's also possible that some "seaweed forests" slow the movement of currents.
Boracay islands. =)

colder ocean currents prevent clouds from forming, and there is less precipitation. warmer currents bring in humidity and more rain. an example would be Florida and Cali.
Yes. Ocean currents affect world wide weather patterns, and weather affects Las Vegas.
Factors effecting climate are: -latitude from the equator -distance from the ocean/sea/any other hydrological feature -surrounding natural features such as mountains or forests that can alter precipitation and weather - ocean currents -human activity such as pollution or 'urban jungles' where a regions climate can be artificially warmed up by the effects of concrete and decreased water runoff causeing increased precipitation
No, tectonic plates underground and the moon affects the ocean
Climate(:
it affects everything
ocean currents, mountains, elevation, and latitude
There are several conditions that influence temperature and precipitation. Landforms, ocean currents, winds, latitude areas, and many other things can affect temperature and precipitation.
The Ocean Current that most affects the weather in North America is probably the EL NINO or the UPWELLING Currents.
