Humans may be fucked, but the Earth would be better off without us anyway.
Carbon-based life depends on the fact that water, unlike everything else, expands when it gets cold. Because ice floats it allowed the ocean to retain enough heat that it became hospitable for carbon-based life.

Erm...as far as I know about whether, and that's a decent bit, the main, if not the only, effect removing the moon would have is a global change in tides because only the sun would be effecting them then. I think without the moon we probably would only experience one high tide and one low tide a day. Other than that most of the earth's weather is dependant on heat from the sun to move forward, not the moon.

Hmm well the tidal forces from the moon might have some effects on the interior of Earth that we don't know about. Perhaps it helps generate the energy that keeps the core moving. Without that energy we'd lose our magnetic field, and then the Sun would blow our atmosphere away and that would be bad stuff.

Sure, it could do that, but it won't have much effect on the weather alone.
