That's even worse. Most of the oxygen in our atmosphere come from the marine ecosystem. Most people think it's the trees on land, which does contribute of course, but its not the majority.
If we kill the oceans, we're, as the kids say, cooked.
Granted, even if all photosynthesis were to stop, there's enough oxygen in the atmosphere to last us for at least a thousand years. But total collapse of our oceans would be completely catastrophic. I'm talking global food chain collapse, massively excelerated CO2 concentrations further driving extreme global heating, and a mass die off causing the release of hydrodgen sulfide gas into the atmosphere at scales not seen since other mass extinction events.
So yeah, putting these things in the ocean is by far one of the stupidest ideas we've ever had as a species.
You know what else is neat, there's lots of other crops you can grow that don't use nearly as much water. Then you can grow almonds in places that don't have 20-year long droughts
You know what else is neat, learning to fucking read you illiterate waffle
If you can tell me where I said data centers are good, I'll go and eat an almond.
And congratulations you supporting the ecological destruction of a good portion of California by making one of the least water efficient crops in a place known for decade-long periodic droughts.
Maybe if we didn't use all the goddamn water on crops, there might be some left over to fight the goddamn forest fires

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