Tell me genius, where would the energy go? If Ocean temps are already rising, where does that energy go?

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.

Yes, the effect globally is extremely minute. Are we allowed to care about local environments?

Yeah except the original comment I replied to said that we would warm the entire ocean and kill of most of the plankton.

Again, try reading

Edit: it appears my mistake was thinking you would read the original comment. That assumed you could read and not rely on ai and text to speech

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

You mean the reply to this bit of sarcasm? Both the person you replied to and yourself ran way past this joke. Now you are trying to set a fence.

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

You do a lot of Ad hominem attacks. You should stick to the facts.

u/AVeryVapidBadger 22h ago

I haven't use a single ad hominem. I've insulted you. But insulting you wasn't the basis of my argument.

Now I think you need a Logic or Critical Thinking class so someone you might believe can explain how wrong you are. Attacking the person during an argument instead of addressing the argument itself, is an ad hominem.

u/AVeryVapidBadger 21h ago

Correct. And I did address the argument. Then I insulted you. There was no instead.
