The air can be warmer than the sea surface in some cases due to a combination of evaporation and radiation from the sea surface through the optical window direct to space on a clear night, removing energy faster than the air could add energy by conduction, or if winds bring in hotter air than the surface film from a different location.

As sea ice thins, and becomes more fractured and labile, it is likely to move more in response to winds and currents so that polar bears will need to walk or swim more and thus use greater amounts of energy to maintain contact with the remaining preferred habitats.

It's unlikely that Denmark's energy will ever come 100 % from wind power — but with rising distributed generation (solar panels on homes), truly massive potential for offshore wind in the North Sea, and ample biomass infrastructure to pick up the slack, don't rule out the possibility that they might come pretty close.

The tropical oceans take up vast amounts of energy through air - sea heat fluxes, especially in the equatorial regions dominated by wind - driven upwelling of cold water.
