I've experienced a similar response from people I talk with. It's such a simple premise and idea that seems oversimplified and lacks nuance. The main issue is that it is so against the way the system currently world, there's no foreseeable solution.

But you could argue against climate change with much the same logic (and, indeed, a lot of people seem to do). "The conclusions would demand changes to our status quo in a degree of magnitude that hasn't ever been there before, therefore, they must be wrong".
