There are clearly some problems in comparing tide gauge and satellite data, and of course, satellites can have their problems (cf.

«As to satellites, the data are quite difficult to interpret in a qualitatively accurate manner (there is a long history of corrections of past shortcomings to improve the data products), and the data are not the temperature that most of us live in and grow our food in down here at the surface, but instead some moderately complicated average of conditions above us somewhere in the atmosphere (much better definitions can be given, but the satellites measure some weighted average up there rather than the surface down here).

For their study, Hansen and his colleagues combined ancient paleo - climate data with new satellite readings and an improved model of the climate system to demonstrate that ice sheets can melt at a «non-linear» rate: rather than an incremental melting as Earth's poles inexorably warm, ice sheets might melt at exponential rates, shedding dangerous amounts of mass in a matter of decades, not millennia.
