Humans are contributing to global warming primarily by burning fossil fuels (such as coal, oil, and natural gas) which release greenhouse gases like carbon dioxide into the atmosphere. These gases trap heat from the sun, leading to an increase in the Earth's average temperature. Deforestation and industrial activities also play a role by releasing additional greenhouse gases.

I'm not positive on this but I'm pretty sure. The equator is just warmer because the sun is shining brightest on it. The earth is round so the center of the earth or the equator is closer to the sun the tips or the north or south pole. Because the equator is warmer, the oceans are warmer too.
