The water is being warmed by burning hydrocarbons which emit massive quantities of CO and CO2 which in turn hold in the sun's heat which in turn causes the oceans to heat up dangerously. Not to mention CO2 is an acidic gas which wreaks havoc on marine life and land life.

The amount of heat instilled in the oceans from this type operation is negligible.

    Yeah I disagree with this sentiment, "things are already bad so this new level of bad is negligible"

    Yeah sure a single instance but how quickly will it ramp up? What are the local consequences of it? See UV suncream bleaching the barrier reef for examples on how we can destroy nature simply by being present in it.

    You are excusing something that is not necessary, to the detriment of habitats, biomes and ourselves.

    You don't sound like you physics very often. Sorry. I can't fight gut feelings with facts. I've tried. It doesn't work.
