Article 25
1. This Protocol shall enter into force on the ninetieth day after the date on which not less than 55 Parties to the Convention, incorporating Parties included in Annex I which accounted in total for at least 55 per cent of the total carbon dioxide emissions for 1990 of the Parties included in Annex I, have deposited their instruments of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession.
The calculation for Kyoto Protocol was a bit simplistic. It asked for 55 percent of carbon dioxide to be considered enough for ratification. But, 45 percent was still unmitigated. Among that 45 percent was the USA which has been and continues to be the biggest greenhouse gas polluter on Earth. As other countries lowered their carbon footprint, others didn't even try to contain it.
Kyoto Protocol was expected to have participation by the USA. The USA at the time the protocol was developed in Japan was a moral participate on a global stage. Greenhouse gas emissions was considered and still is more than ever a moral issue for the global community. When the USA did not ratify the protocol the rest of the world could not understand. They still don't understand why it took until 2015 for the USA to be the moral leader is has always been, especially in environmental matters.
2. For the purposes of this Article, “the total carbon dioxide emissions for 1990 of the Parties included in Annex I” means the amount communicated on or before the date of adoption of this Protocol by the Parties included in Annex I in their first national communications submitted in accordance with Article 12 of the Convention.
The carbon dioxide was recorded after Russia was the final country to bring a total of 55 percent to bear in eliminating high amounts of CO2 from Earth's troposphere.
Yes, Russia. Russia became a moral leader for Kyoto, not the USA. It was large enough and able to sequester carbon dioxide in it's vast northern forests.

The Russian parliament yesterday (click here) voted to ratify the Kyoto treaty, bringing the international climate change protocol to within months of coming into effect.
The lower house of the parliament, or duma, yesterday voted 334-73 to approve the treaty. This means that the protocol's 126 signatories have eight years to cut their emissions of six greenhouse gases to 5.2% below their 1990 levels.
The treaty needs 55 industrialised nations, representing 55% of the world's greenhouse gas emissions, to sign it before it can come into effect.
The United States, responsible for 36% of emissions in 1990, and Australia, have already refused to sign up to the measure, meaning Russia had to ratify the treaty to save it from collapse. The move will be seen as a sign that Moscow is keen to curry favour with Brussels after the bruising attacks on human rights abuses by the EU in recent months....
The Kyoto Protocol was adopted in Kyoto, Japan, on 11 December 1997 and entered into force on 16 February 2005.
Just less than eight years had passed from the time it was adopted to the point where it came into force. That was a long time and such length in ratification was not anticipated. The member countries that first adopted Kyoto expected quick ratification with the USA included. Eight years later after unmitigated pollution there was more CO2 than expected and the USA was not interested in ending it's pollution. The people. The average citizen made sacrifices and acted to mitigate greenhouse gas emissions than the US government would pass as law. It was all greed, all the time and the world was not to be considered as important over a Bush economy and an illegal.
3. For each State or regional economic integration organization that ratifies, accepts or approves this Protocol or accedes thereto after the conditions set out in paragraph 1 above for entry into force have been fulfilled, this Protocol shall enter into force on the ninetieth day following the date of deposit of its instrument of ratification, acceptance, approval or accession.
4. For the purposes of this Article, any instrument deposited by a regional economic integration organization shall not be counted as additional to those deposited by States members of the organization.
3 and 4 of article 25 are self-explanatory.
