Look at your numbers. You're talking about climate changes taking place over 10,000 to 100,000 years. The current climate changes are theorized to take place over a few hundred years.
Let's do a little thought experiment. Say that the current climate change takes place over 250 years. That's 50 times faster than for the smallest timespan you cited.
Now get in your car. Drive 1mph into a concrete barrier. (Hope you didn't damage your bumper.)
Okay, now drive 50mph into that concrete barrier. When you get out of the hospital (IF you get out of the hospital) let's talk a little about the difference between gradual climate change and rapid climate change.
