There were occasional fluctuations due to things like volcanic eruptions, and whatnot, but they were 100 times slower compared to today. Today, we are a bit more than 1 degree C warmer than the preindustrial era, and almost all of that has occurred since 1975. The rate of change today is about 0.2 degrees C per decade, it's all in the upward direction, and it tracks the increase in CO2 concentration in the atmosphere very closely. I don't think the rate of change has ever been this fast due to strictly natural causes. The possible exception might be when the asteroid hit the Earth and formed the Chicxulub Crater near the Yucatan Peninsula. That one killed the dinosaurs overnight.
I talked about some of the reasons why we are having these weird and wild temperatures in this thread about the Climate Scam (Link is to page two as that is where I go mostly into the topic of weather and the coming Ice Age)

you might want to rethink a lot of the data you used to draw your conclusions.
