    You understand rivers largely empty into oceans, right? Your tequila analogy leaves that part out. Eventually, you’re still dumping tequila (heat) into the pool (ocean).

      It’s a matter of size. You’ll be dumping the tequila into the pool, but the alcohol percentage of the pool is in all practical sense, still 0.

        The size of the pool is of no importance globally. You’re still creating the same amount of heat

        The only real difference is that the river heat can get higher because it’s more localised and, therefore, can cause more trouble along the way.

        But from the pov of the ocean ? Rounding error
