Answer to Question 1

Yes, a 4 change is substantial on this scale. The Little Ice Age was due to a
change of about 1/300 = 0.3 in temperature.

Answer to Question 2

The changes are rather steady, as in the amount of oxygen or carbon dioxide.
Amounts change, but not by doubling within a short period.
