What is the point of solving hunger and poverty when we are unable to solve climate change? Having more people and more people who can afford luxuries will only make that problem worse. I know it's a tough argument to swallow, but that doesn't make it less true.

What's your argument exactly? Saving more people will worsen the climate situation?

Yes, that's just facts. We thus need to do both, only saving people will be pointless, if there's no livable planet for them.
