    Ahh good, let’s put a bunch of electric heaters into the ocean. This sounds like it’ll help with the ongoing crisis in ocean temperature rise, and certainly won’t have any unforseen consequences.

      Locally, yes, it could cause changes in the environment in a very small area. Ocean temperature is a global phenomenon and not affected or caused by active heating elements.

      The rise in temperature is caused by a change in the insulation of the planet, the atmosphere.

      The sun pumps energy (heat) into the earth equivalent to 44 million power plants. Next to that, a data center does not even register.
