"If the ocean were high 158 F, this is not the same as the average ocean temperature was 158 F, nor that average global air temperature was 158 F. If the ocean temperature were on average 158 F, then you would indeed have steaming oceans [water at top hundred feet could be near 200 F]."
Perhaps, I wasn't making this clear enough. Earth was not Venus-like. Venus's average global temperature is 900 F- though that is at the bottom of the CO2 ocean in which you have 90 atm of CO2, if you were to inhabit Venus in it's sky so that you were around Earth's atmospheric pressure the temperature would be far less [though you couldn't get away from fact of the sunlight delivering twice the power than in comparison to Earth {you don't need a stove on Venus- just stick a frying pan "out the window" for a few minutues and you can use it to fry your eggs:}]. .
