There have been bigger increases but most likely not faster ones though I am not sure how far back we have reliable data for rate of increase.
And even if so this rapid rate of increase is still not a good thing. It will require expensive adaptations and lead to extinctions.

This is obvious if you think about it, all that carbon in the ground had to be in the air before photosynthetic life. And before any life, the Earth was a molten ball of liquid rock. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Paleoclimatology
