The correct answer is: **This shift in temperature is happening more quickly.**

Current changes in global temperatures are occurring at an unprecedented rate due to human activities, particularly the burning of fossil fuels and deforestation, which release greenhouse gases into the atmosphere. This rapid change differs from historical temperature fluctuations, which typically occurred over much longer timescales.
