Why do people still want to reproduce themselves on a planet of nearly eight billion people with finite resources when so many live in need?

People only think about themselves and I don't mean this in a bad way. Its difficult to life the only life that you have for the greater good. Especially if you aren't sure that your crushing sacrifice will mean anything. Many people consider a biological child to be the culmination of their achievement on earth so its a hard thing to ask.
@REMsleep people dont think about climate change either, except Greta

@Elevatorpitches Thats not true at all. Many individuals care alot about climate change including me but my impact isn't publicized like Greta.
Also I have to live in society the way that it is set up so I won't go homeless by refusing to ride in a car or drive a car in order to assist in lowering emissions and I still eat beef occasionally so I care alot but as an individual there is only so much that we can do.
