3. Apples and oranges
What we're seeing is change at a pace exceeding all of the warming phases listed here and associated with large-scale geological shifts.

What this poster is talking about is geological movements taking place over tens of millions of years and the concomitant climate shifts.

What we're seeing is change moving at speeds which are multiple orders of magnitude faster than any which went before - ten times or 100 times faster than any of the long-term shifts listed in the post you cite.
