Their interim plan, to use any GPS stations within 15 km (I think) is only «better than nothing» and allows at least, in most cases, to correct for continental vertical land movement (VLM), but does not account for vertical movement of the structure to which the Tide Gauge is actually attached, which means that all VLM attributable to local subsidence looks like SLR at the gauge.

A drying of the atmosphere — that the researchers note — takes place in the subtropical subsidence zone (the 30 degrees latitude) but expands towards the 30 - 45 degrees latitude — Earth's Meditteranean climates, where their model suggests net cloud cover would actually decrease most (see dotted line in first image in this article, at top)-- most notably around 500 hPa (roughly translating to a height of around 5 kilometers of altitude in the troposphere) decreasing albedo and increasing solar heat absorption, therefore net climate warming.
