"They have no effect on air temperature over land on the coast." is false.
Ocean surface currents transport heat and moisture, form large gyres, move heat between equator and poles, and strongly influence coastal climate (e.g., the Gulf Stream warms Western Europe; the California Current cools the U.S. West Coast).
