Linear trends are appropriate for the time period after 1990 where the data are described well by a linear trend plus interannual noise (that's why we show a linear trend for the satellite sea level in our paper), but they don't capture the longer - term climate evolution very well, e.g. the nearly flat temperatures up to 1980.
