Answer:

Cold, salty water is dense and sinks to the bottom of the ocean while warm water is less dense and remains on the surface.

Cold water is a higher density in warm water.

The actual amount of heat generated per square meter of earth is quite small, especially compared to the amount of heat necessary to warm the ocean.
