Assuming that the simplifications you've made are OK -- which is a question for which you'd need an actual climate scientist or oceanographer -- there's nothing wrong with the calculation. I just don't see why it's a calculation whose answer we should be very interested in. Are you doing it just out of curiosity or is it intended to tell us something important about the impact of AGW?
