Deforestation, as well as the burning of fossil fuels (coal, oil and natural gas) in industry, transport and the generation of electricity (which releases carbon dioxide (CO2)), are both causing global warming, dangerous and long-term changes in our climate.

In the longest term changes in climate are caused by changes in the sun's output. Over shorter terms there are many different causes.
Yes, they all can influence continual change in an ecosystem. Any of these could cause an ecosystem to spiral out of control, or could cause it to settle into a new ecosystem depending on the specifics.
No, that is climate, weather refers only to short term events such as cloud cover, rainfall, snowfall or lightning.
How often tornadoes occur in different regions is a function of climate. Tornadoes are weather events and climate is the long-term behavior of the weather. In simple terms, tornadoes occur in areas whose climates support the formation of strong thunderstorms and wind shear.

Are changes that span long periods of time exceeding a few years. Climate changes that occur in less than a decade may be considered short-term changes.
Whether changes about every minute while climate changes over a long period of time
A climatologist examines the changes in the climate and endeavor to predict long term forecasts. Climatologists are unlike meteorologists who study climate changes in the short term.

Drastic climate changes
Individual weather events, such as a storm, a cold winter or a hot summer do not effect climate in a given area. Climate is the statistics of weather, typically over a period of at least 30 years. Climate change is long term trends in climate and it is possible for short term changes to go in the opposite direction of the long term trend.
climate changes occur over long periods of time. Just like global warming.
Weather is a short term change to the climate, but not to the greenhouse effect. Climate is a long term change to the weather (but not to the greenhouse effect).
Climate changes
The seasons occur regularly, every year, because of the tilt of Earth's axis of revolution. The wobble of this axis and the "extra" time it takes Earth to circle the sun each year cause climate changes on a very long time scale - tens of thousands of years.
