Sure. First of all you can have a look at the linked graph of temperatures, especially the Pleistocene. The wildly fluctuating levels indicate how temperatures change abruptly over a few decades as a rule as glaciations came and went. (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Last_Interglacial#/media/File:...)
And that is without even mentioning all the great extinction events that have taken place.
So much for the thought that the current climate change is unique among climate events. But let's not forget the greater point here: this fact doesn't mean that our situation isn't precarious. It just means means we can't tap into the quasi-religious notion that humans (or those dirty oil profiteers) somehow wrecked a pristine world in perfect balance. It still means we need to stop polluting the planet (in a myriad of ways), and that we have grave adaptive challenges ahead that we need to start working on ASAP.
If that doesn't convince you then please read up on the Heinrich events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Heinrich_event) and Dansgaard-Oeschger events (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dansgaard%E2%80%93Oeschger_eve...) respectively, both of which have been recurring drastic changes in temperature in recent geological history.
