Maybe the people who care less than me and have kids will find that their kids do care and resent their parents
Is that a chance you want to take?
I think the odds are fairly good, but I'm also just not concerned about my legacy. If after I die the world is overrun with morons a la Idiocracy I won't be around to lament it.
The you do not care about the world at all?
Setting aside how needlessly passive-aggressive your comment is– most people don't care about the world at large. They care about their family, their social circle, their tribe/in-group, but not the world at large. Otherwise climate change wouldn't be as big of an issue in the first place.
My point is that we should care about the world at large and we should lead by example.
Then you did a very poor job of making that point through your (presumably rhetorical) question.
If you look at the reply from the person I was actually talking to, you will see that they do not care for the world as a whole. I was not making the point in the comment you are referring to, I was just replying to that person.
