I'm not sure what you're getting at, are you under the impression that ocean temps haven't gone up by 1c since industrialization? Because they have.

Surface ocean temperatures. It is in no way the same thing as the entire body of water raising in temperature by that same number.
Fortunately nothing important lives in the surface of the ocean, no need to panic.
That wasn't anywhere near the point. OP was talking about the amount of energy required to raise the entire ocean by one degree, which is a truly terrifying amount of energy. Fortunately, that's not what is happening.
