I think you'll find that most of the organizations promoting climate apocalypse agree with your ideas about population control. Interestingly, they proposed population control before promoting the climate agenda. Many view fear of a climate apocalypse as a vehicle to advance the preexisting agenda. https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_Council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Population_Council https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Biodemography_and_Social_Biology https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Society_for_Biodemography_and_... https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-forgotten-lessons-of-the-american-eugenics-movement https://www.newyorker.com/books/page-turner/the-forgotten-le... https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Foundation#Eugenics_and_Nazi_racial_studies https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Rockefeller_Foundation#Eugenic...

I also see climate change being adopted by people to advance their unrelated causes. For example, AOC's "Green New Deal" proposal was full of social justice programs. Socialism is often put forward as the solution to climate change, although socialist countries have a very poor track record of environmental stewardship. Free markets, on the other hand, produce the necessary surplus needed to address environmentalism, i.e. free market countries can afford to address it. Marginal economies cannot.

Do you mean (ex-)communist countries instead? Socialism != communism.

    A better argument you could make is name a socialist country (use whatever definition of socialism works for you) that has a better environmental track record.
