Explanation

The United States signed the Kyoto Protocol in 1998 but never ratified it, making it a non-party. The US Senate had passed the Byrd-Hagel Resolution反对 the protocol unless developing countries also committed to emissions reductions. India, China, and Germany were all parties to the protocol.
