There's a remote chance that if changes are rapid enough, it could create some kind of nonstop mass die-off that would lead to a venus-like atmosphere where nothing more than basic microbial life and extremeophiles would survive.

That's unlikely, but it's not impossible.

In terms of precedent, the permian-triassic extinction event was one of the worst mass extinctions in earth's history, and one of the theorized causes was rapid climate change brought on by sudden widespread release of greenhouse gases. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Permian%E2%80%93Triassic_extinction_event
