We don't know historical global temperatures well enough to say if anthropogenic warming is particularly fast.
For example the Younger Dryas¹, about 15ky ago. The best estimate is global temp dropped 2-6° over 50 years and 1000 years later, did the opposite. Before that our data is so poor it's hard to distinguish between 1000 years and 1 year.
