Needless to say, I disagree.

My response is more nuanced. He's partly right. The world is not so
overpopulated that people _couldn't_ be moved elsewhere to avoid the
consequences of climate change.
But the fact I cited, which he argued with, is that the world is
populated enough that everywhere people might want to go to in order
to escape climate change, there's a government which is very likely
not to allow them to do so.
It's not that the population level all by itself means there's
absolutely
no room, it's just that the world is not organized any more so that
people can just migrate wherever they feel like.
