Sure but normal warming during interglacial periods happens slow, slow enough for life to adapt. Unlike the current rate of warming which is far exceeding historical warming periods (outside cataclysmic events like volcanism/asteroid impacts). That is the concern.

How slow?

What's the typical rate of warming?

Good question, I don't know off the top of my head. Did a quick search and found this.

About 10 times faster than previous warming periods in the last 65 million years. Would be cool to find papers talking about this and learn more.
