Again gonna have to see a source before I buy that. We can say "climate change killed this many people" but the real answer is more "it's complicated"

It's an estimate. From Impact of regional climate change on human health, Patz et al, Nature (2005)

Pollution isn't climate change. There's 4 threats causing the mass extinction we're seeing. Habitat loss, change change, pollution, over-exploitation. They're basically independent of you only count land use change as habitat loss, and not the range changes from climate change.

it's not new it's from the old "there's too many people we all going to die" nonsense that was popularized with shit like the "population bomb".

We're lucky population growth has slowed. But there's more people than the planet can carry.

Got the climate grifters on the one side selling nonsense with fear mongering and the people on the otherside seeing the shit and complete ignoring the problems.

There's a false equivalence there. On one side there's people wanting policy to be informed by the science. Then there's the fossil fuel money backed opinion that the science is wrong.
