Yes, in the past, there have been records of rapid climatic changes that were disastrous for the life living at that time. Many of these changes were created by a rapid increase or decline in the atmospheric GHGs. Now we are the agent of the increase, rather than volcanic activity intruding on clathrates. But the result is the same, rapid accumulation of GHGs in the atmosphere. And there is absolutely no reason to believe that the results will be differant.
By the way, such catastrophes are not in line with Uniformitarianism, but puntated equalibrium. Not opposing ideas at all.
