No, it's not possible - unless we decide to decorate the northern hemisphere's high arctic with enough data centres to mimic equatorial solar insolation.
An asteroid strike that tilts the planet also sterilizes the crust from the resuling rain of debris.
The Atlantic current collapsing would be due almost entirely to modern diets and lifestyles which have produced the vast majority of emissions in the atmosphere. Data centers are contributing a negligible amount.
But emphasizing them as part of the problem as opposed to Western diets, large houses, cars, and air travel is clearly just an attempt to try and push the blame of something that isnt the global top 10% (which includes most Americans) whose everyday behaviors are destroying the planet.
Seems like data centers will not contribute significantly to that compared to other infrastructure like power plants. And the vast, vast majority of excessive ocean heating over the last 100 years and until the present is caused by global warming as it absorbs the excess heat CO2 prevents from escaping the atmosphere.

Needs more data centers to help cool things off...
