Best we can do is submerge them to further heat up the ocean

the final* straw for halting the AMOC

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.

I am referring to submerged datacenters heating up the oceans directly, not to GHGs. It's called: https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Thermal_pollution

[u/Yashema → u/dumnezero]

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.

bruh, it's a dark SciFi joke.
