Needless to say, I disagree.

The above are not my words.

 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,

This is a claim nobody has made.  So contesting it is pointless.
  it's just that the world is not organized any more so that

people can just migrate wherever they feel like.

Which was rather my point.
It's not that the US couldn't absorb 30 million Brazilians and 50 million Indians.
It's just that they won't.
