If we completely stop having children right now, worldwide, the population will not meaningfully decrease for the next 50 years.

The major amount of climate damage will be done within the next 20 years.

The only option to use population control to reduce climate damage would be to kill roughly half of the world's population within the next 2-3 years.

So if that's your solution, you are either advocating for the greatest genocide the world has ever seen or are argueing in bad faith because you know that your solution is nonsense.
