Let's go a step further with that.
Currently 123 nations* have ratified or accessed the Kyoto Protocol. They account for 44.2% of CO2 emissions. If the US ratifies it that skyrockets to 80.3% of emissions.

Russia is stillholding Kyoto hostage with their 17.4% trying to squeeze some Economic Aid from the European Community for itself. Once they fully sign on Kyoto will be possible without the United States. We'll be in it anyway in January. When Kerry signs it.

*There's about 190 countries on earth. Like kulrblind said, most of the small ones who this won't really affect didn't bother to be a part of the process whatsoever.
