I believe it is positive feedback loop tipping points being reached (thawing permafrost, for example), which is accelerating change beyond was was previously modeled.

I am not an expert either. However I cannot imagine that those sources come close to the volume of methane leaked from clathrates.

Hammershaft's comment is disturbing to me, as that is how the lines in the graph appear to me as well.

There was also the thing about low sulfur shipping causing a spike in temps? No idea if that’s potentially related or not.

and, by the Commutative Law of Relatives he's at least as much of a stable genius as his uncle who was a great professor for, I believe, 40 years at MIT.

The proxies we have for ancient periods don't allow us to state very much about what rates of warming looked like on a short-term scale. It's hard to rule out that it might not have been very much like today. And the CO2-driving argument is predicated on null-warming in the 1800s, which is hard to establish (actually counter-indicated).
