Well another thought is that the only way to revert this so-called doomerist path is to choose to have and raise kids with empathy for others and with care towards the natural world they've inherited.

Because the people who don't give a shit ain't going to stop having them.

Raising them with good values doesn't mean that they will keep those throughout their life, unfortunately. Quite risky to bet on that.

I have no data to support this but I'm willing to bet that the likelihood they do keep those values is significantly greater than the likelihood that they don't.

So, a very low risk bet.
