What’s the answer for the seemingly regular shifts in temperature?
I am genuinely asking - but in point of fact, the idea of any science being beyond question or re-examination is profoundly unscientific.
Especially when we’re dealing with a concept as vast as the climate of the Earth.
And if your only response is “people smarter than you have already figured it out” you might have just traded one religion for another.

The difference is the rate of change. I expect you were looking at the Antarctica ice core data over the last 800,000 years. This shows the oscillations well, but it is hard to compare to current times due to scale. Using this data as the Earth leaves the ice ages, the temperature could rise 7 or 8 degrees over as short as 5,000 years. Which on a graph of 800,000 years would be an almost vertical line.
But in our recorded times, we are looking at almost 1 degree increase in the last 100 years. At that rate (and all records show the rate increasing) we would hit 8 degrees in less than 1000 years. 5x faster than the normal cycle. When they include exponential growth and feedback loops, this gets even faster.
So the scientific community has consensus that more than just a natural cycle is occurring.
Here is a little primer about why it isn't mostly Milankovitch cycles
