Depends on the geoengineering. Most of them don't work. Regarding population, I support anyone's choice to have kids, but the notion of an unsustainable population is not wrong. Value structures matter here.

Thing about climate change is that it's not a simple dehydration, starvation situation. It'll probably precipitate large scale global conflict, possibly nuclear studying Hiroshima and Nagasaki aftermath is enough to convince- not create another life just to experience that
