I didn't want to make a new topic about this so I thought I'd bung this question in here.
There are plans being drawn up for massive offshore solar farms and I have an odd question. Will these farms do anything to cool the seas around them (we're told they're heating up which is bad) due to the shade and will they provide habitats for fish?

The oceans are not heating due to solar radiation, but through absorbing heat from the atmosphere as it heats more and more.
As to habitats, who knows. Man made structures often attract animal lodgers.

The ocean is like a massive heat sink. It might absorb heat during the day but half the planet is always in night so it gets released again. However, if the atmosphere gets hotter that means there is less of a gradient for heat to diffuse across and the ocean warms over time.

So what I think what you're saying is we need a more efficient heat sink for the oceans?
Come on nerds where are you you strawberry floating love fiddling with heat sinks and gooseberry fool like that

Politicians claim solving the problem is hard yet you manage it with a single picture.

Well, even though he's been proven innocent, this is still going to hang over him for a very long time sadly.
