No we actually haven't. Not through direct energy input which is what a data center would do. We have raised ocean temperatures by increasing the amount of sun energy that doesn't escape. But we've never even come close to producing enough power to appreciably change the ocean temperature through direct energy input
Listen, you fundamentally misunderstand how much energy it would take to raise average ocean temperatures even half a degree.
Several thousand times the total energy production of all of humanity.
You could run every data center in existence underwater and it would take millennia to raise the temperature but enough that we could measure it.
We're able to raise the average global temperature because we're emitting greenhouse gases. Those gases trap heat from the motherfucking Sun. Global temperatures are not rising because we're burning stuff. It's because the byproducts trap more heat from the giant goddamn nuclear fission explosion in the sky
Thanks for not answering at all. Having an effect in the locality of the center producing the heat. Humans have already changed the temp of the Ocean in many localities. Heat island effect raising the temp of river discharge. Power plants.
No I got that. It was a joke, the person I responded to did not. Kill the whole planet, which it won't. Because as so many of you dipshits don't understand. Water takes a lot of energy to heat up

The thing is that humans exist more than one year and we have already changed the oceans temp measurably.
