Microsoft are looking at putting datacenters under the ocean, which sounds like a really good idea to cool them but I can’t help but think a couple decades from now it’s going to start causing us problems

Well it's certainly better environmentally than using conventional air conditioning, doubt it would heat up the oceans significantly

Would it heat up the oceans: yes.

Significantly:no.

If this pans out it would be a lot better than what we are doing now.

It will always be less heating than if you use aircon.
