Scott, we used to think that it took thousands of years for climate to change. And that is what happens, as I understand it, in "normal" times. In very extreme times (asteroid impact, world-wide series of volcanic eruptions, etc) we've seen that things can change surprisingly quickly, over the course of decades. That is what is worrisome about the data we have now for the past hundred years. It looks more like an extreme disruption than it does a normal change. That is worrisome because it means that we likely have less time to react than we traditionally thought.
