If you use the ocean for cooling, that isn't an issue.

Can't tell if you are joking or not.

Ocean temperatures are already on the rise and causing havoc.

I could say the same about your comment!

The ocean is a big place with more than a billion billion liters of water, you can't meaningfully heat it up with a power plant.

With that logic, you couldn't build any power plant with air cooling either since they would heat up the air which is getting hotter... If you want to make a general argument against all power generation that's fine, but singling out ocean cooling specifically doesn't make sense.
