There have been occasions when it moved much faster than that, similar to the speeds now, but that was the result of a dramatic change. One of them was the event that killed off the dinosaurs. There was another event hundreds of millions of years before as well with volcanic explosions across a younger, more volatile, earth being the leading theory as to the cause.

These were, geologically speaking, 'sudden' events caused by some incident that dramatically changed the climate. We're in another event now but there hasn't been a huge incident, there has just been us.
The mini-ice age of the 1600s was pretty drastic, don’t you think?
