Any ocean is tied up in the changes of climate change. Oceans are essentially absorbers of heat. This makes the air cooler when i blows over a cool ocean. As the oceans heat up they carry heat to colder northern and southern regions. This directly melts ice (a good reflected of heat and light back to the sky) and allows more heat to be absorbed. Warm oceans will evaporate more water into the atmosphere which cause cloud cover which both reflects light on the outside and contains heat in the lower atmosphere. Warm oceans also absorb less carbon dioxide allowing more to stay in the atmosphere as a heat absorbing greenhouse gas.

Why is the lakefront colder in the summer?

Large bodies of water have a cooling effect in summer and a 'warming' (less cold really) effect in winter time. The reason is the Ocean is a huge mass much bigger than the land. So this means there is a lag between when the ocean starts warming and when that warming actually takes effect. The result of this is that the Ocean in Autumn is actually warmer than in summer, and warmer in winter than in spring!
