And when someone puts forth a plan saying only the OECD 90 countries should curb emissions, then that scenario will mean something. But since that's not anybody's plan, CATO is just tossing up a strawman.

Developing countries (China and India) will do nothing that results in reducing their economic growth. China's big committment is to consider reductions in 2030 (don't hold your breath). That's not a strawman, that's reality.

What have China and India committed to ?? Nothing per the Paris COP 21.

However, the targets set by nations will not be binding under the deal struck in Paris.
Observers say the attempt to impose emissions targets on countries was one of the main reasons why the Copenhagen talks in 2009 failed.
At the time, nations including China, India and South Africa were unwilling to sign up to a condition that they felt could hamper economic growth and development.
The latest negotiations managed to avoid such an impasse by developing a system of Intended Nationally Determined Contributions (INDCs).
In these, which form the basis of the Paris agreement goal of keeping global temperature rise "well below" 2C (3.6F) above pre-industrial levels, nations outline their plans on cutting their post-2020 emissions.
An assessment published during the two-week talks suggested that the emission reductions currently outlined in the INDCs submitted by countries would only limit global temperature rise by 2.7C
