Well, as far as I know,. all the articles I have read say exactly the contrary, that the rate now is a lot faster than the one coming out from the ice age. Is because of that I ask your sources.
From [0]: > As the Earth moved out of ice ages over the past million years, the global temperature rose a total of 4 to 7 degrees Celsius over about 5,000 years. In the past century alone, the temperature has climbed 0.7 degrees Celsius, roughly ten times faster than the average rate of ice-age-recovery warming.

well, 20 seconds googling turned this up:

Quote from the abstract: "One of the most surprising findings was that the shifts from cold stadials to the warm interstadial intervals occurred in a matter of decades, with air temperatures over Greenland rapidly warming 8 to 15°C"

DO cycles didn't changed the Earth global mean temperature, they are regional changes.

The "global mean temperature" is a statistical construct. It doesn't actually exist as a thing that can kill animals and plants. They only get to experience actual temperatures, and are clearly able to adapt to rapid changes in actual temperatures.
Feel free to ignore the point and my comment if you feel it insufficiently supported by peer-reviewed articles.
I'm sorry I'm unable to assist your learning by giving you a solid reference.
