Our weather and long term our climate is determined by the air masses prevalent over large areas of both hemispheres. Where polar air masses meet tropical air masses the polar front is formed. the jet stream is caused by this meeting so its speed and direction is largely a result of this interaction along the polar front.
The bigger the difference in temperature and humidity of the air masses the more powerful the jet stream is. The fact that more ice is melting seems to indicate that there will be changes difference between the those meeting air masses
So the answer is yes. Apologies for the simplification of a complicated phenomenon.
