I mean, thats the same as with fossil fuels or taxing the rich - we are programmed to overreact to any economical instability even if none if it would affect 90% of pupation and turbulence lasting a couple of years would fade quickly from memory and get the results sooner. It's basically like any revolution. It's bad in the very short term, but not as bad as not changing much for decades.

Also historically, it's the 'sweeping changes' that get all the glory and results (and actual change in power).
