Water (and Liquids) for PRACTICAL purposes can not be compressed. BUT, technically, they can be compressed under great pressure, such as at the bottom of the ocean. Basic hydraulics. http://www.physlink.com/education/askexperts/ae15.cfm

Yes it does produce heat. Think of hydraulic lines and reservoirs on excavation equipment, tractors, log splitters etc. If you are thinking about water temperature at the bottom of the ocean being cold, but producing heat due to compression; the heat produced is far less than the cooling effects at the bottom of the ocean: that being lack of sunlight and thermal inversion being two examples.

The article doesn't say that the sinking ocean floor is a problem. It says that the sinking ocean floor has hidden some of the increased volume of liquid water in the oceans. Therefore, they now realize that the increase in liquid water in the ocean is even greater than they originally calculated. The sinking of the ocean floor is a good thing, but the increased water that is causing the floor to sink also causes other problems for coastal areas.

Come on guys. Nearly all reputable scientists agree that the earth is warming and the oceans are rising. It's indisputable scientific fact that this is caused by man-made greenhouse gasses. Pick up any peer reviewed scientific study and it will recognize this proven FACT. The irony is this - some of you guys reject and refuse to believe in science, yet you sit here using modern scientific technology to communicate on the internet using an electronic device. If you refuse to believe in modern science knows to be truth, you should turn off your computer and go back to living in the stone age.

You mustn't understand astrology very well; the sky is that blue stuff above the air; of course it can fall.

You sir, are either a master of sarcastic wit, or someone who has absolutely no knowledge of the Scientific Method.
I need to know which is true so that I will know whether to bow to you for your masterful yarn spinning skills, or offer to take up a collection to send you to a reputable University to take Science 101.

I'll take that as a compliment. However, a free Science 101 class does sound appealing. As long as I don't have to study sociology or some other nonsense along with it.

Unfortunately, my attempt to stir things up didn't take off very well. Seems that some "believe Science" when it suits their viewpoint of the world but ridicule "Science" when it makes other claims. I find the hypocrisy comical.
