"U nuts btw"

You certainly are.

AI Overview

No, volcanoes do not heat the world's oceans; the internal heat from volcanoes is negligible compared to solar radiation and the immense volume of ocean water quickly dissipates the heat. While individual undersea eruptions can cause regional marine heat waves and other local climate changes, these are not responsible for long-term global ocean warming, which is driven by human-caused climate change.
Why volcanoes don't cause global warming

  • Heat is quickly absorbedThe heat from a volcanic eruption, even an underwater one with lava reaching very high temperatures, is rapidly absorbed by the vast amount of surrounding seawater.
  • Regional impacts onlyThe heat from submarine volcanic activity is mostly localized, causing temporary effects like marine heat waves and changes in ice melt.
  • Negligible global effectThe total amount of heat released by volcanoes is insignificant compared to the energy received from the sun, and it does not contribute to the global rise in ocean temperatures.

What is causing ocean warming

  • Greenhouse gasesThe primary cause of global warming and subsequent ocean temperature increase is the accumulation of human-generated greenhouse gases in the atmosphere.
  • Climate changeThese gases trap heat, leading to rising global temperatures and an increased amount of energy absorbed by the oceans.

In summary
While volcanoes are powerful geological forces that can influence local and regional environments, they are not the cause of the current global trend of ocean warming.
