So in China they're putting server farms ten meters under the surface of the sea. This story is glowing about the power savings from using the ocean to cool the servers.

But there isn't one word about the servers heating up the ocean. Something tells me that dissipating that much heat directly into the ocean is a Bad Idea, especially if it catches on and a lot of these facilities pop... er, bubble up.

Ocean Heat Content Sets Another Record in 2025 - Advances in Atmospheric Sciences

Global ocean warming continued unabated in 2025 in response to increased greenhouse gas concentrations and recent reductions in sulfate aerosols, reflecting the long-term accumulation of heat within the climate system, with conditions evolving toward La Niña during the year. In 2025, global upper 2000 m ocean heat content (OHC) increased by ∼23 ± 8 ZJ relative to 2024 according to IAP/CAS estimates. CIGAR-RT, and Copernicus Marine data confirm the continued ocean heat gain. Regionally, about 33% of the global ocean area ranked among its historical (1958–2025) top three warmest conditions, while about 57% fell within the top five, including the tropical and South Atlantic Ocean, Mediterranean Sea, North Indian Ocean, and Southern Oceans, underscoring the broad ocean warming across basins. Multiple datasets consistently indicate ocean warming, as measured by 0–2000 m OHC, increased from 0.14 ± 0.03 W m−2 (10 yr)−1 during 1960–2025 to 0.32 ± 0.14 W m−2 (10 yr)−1 during 2005–2025 (IAP/CAS), the latter being consistent with EEI (Earth’s Energy Imbalance) estimates within uncertainties. In contrast, the global annual mean sea surface temperature (SST) in 2025 was 0.49°C above the 1981–2010 baseline and 0.12 ± 0.03°C lower than in 2024 (IAP/CAS; similar in CMA-SST, FY3 MWRI SST, ERSSTv5 and Copernicus Marine data), consistent with the development of La Niña conditions, but still ranking as the third-warmest year on record.

Oceans are heating faster across two latitudinal bands 🌊🌐. The first band at 40 to 45 degrees south is heating at the world’s fastest pace, with the effect especially pronounced around New Zealand 🇳🇿, Tasmania 🇦🇺, and Atlantic waters east of Argentina 🇦🇷.

Fourth global mass bleaching of coral reefs underway. More than 54 percent of the world’s coral area has experienced bleaching-level heat stress in the past year, and that number is increasing by about 1 percent per week, says NOAA's Coral Reef Watch scientist Dr. Manzello.

#GreatBarrierReef in Australia is suffering what appears to be its most severe #CoralBleaching event; about a third of the reefs surveyed by air showed prevalence of very high or extreme bleaching, and at least three quarters showed some bleaching.

Scientists Predict Most Extensive Coral Bleaching Event on Record

Rising sea temperatures around the planet have caused a bleaching event that is expected to be the most extensive on record.

New study suggests the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”

[If true, perhaps the single worst result of the climate crisis we've seen so far, with dire consequences for northern hemisphere climate and weather, oceanic and terrestrial food chains, agriculture, etc.]

RealClimate: New study suggests the Atlantic overturning circulation AMOC “is on tipping course”

RealClimate: A new paper was published in Science Advances today. Its title says what it is about: "Physics-based early warning signal shows that AMOC is on tipping course." The study follows one by Danish colleagues which made headlines last July, likewise looking for early warning signals for approaching an AMOC tipping point (we discussed it here),

The race to build climate-resilient coral reefs

Novel restoration methods can speed up the recovery of threatened corals – but for a lasting impact, they need to be backed by action to stop ocean warming, reports Chris Iovenko.
