Remember the earth is 4.5 billions of years old. Our recorded history is about 6,500 years old. Modern humans, i.e us, 200,000 years. Our history, mindset and lifespan has no concept of a geological ages which last a long, long time. The warming since the industrial revolution might seem slow measured by human life but is literally nothing, not even a minor blip, in the timescales off the earth. So this is a very sudden, very abrupt, change.
