The article is about a decision by California's South Coast Air Quality Management District (SCAQMD).
With a neutered EPA do we expect things to get better or worse with regard to things like this?
Don't you think that it's maybe time for discussion and stopping the us vs. them? This is where it got you guys.
A solution that works is proportional representation (PR) but generally this is a very hard sell when the there is such entrenched support for first past the post (FPTP) within the dominant parties' organising bodies.
Another linked but more indirect issue is to tax the very rich, but this that is a much longer conversation.
You can't convince people who have a completely unhinged view of reality.

As I said somewhere else, Trump didn't win the election, the Democrats drove voters away. This isn't a platform for getting deep into the nitty gritty of that statement but it's true for some many people who either didn't vote (not out of apathy) or switched sides (not because they like Trump). It's a protest. And a hope that the democrats will change, or out of the ashes a 3rd party comes along, because they think (or maybe hope) that the Democrats are fucked. A country of hundreds of millions of people can do so much better that the two parties that you've got right now. I like that option... Get out of the mindset of "I _have_ to vote for these idiots or the assholes will get in". What's the worst that can happen? This. You're living it right now. Might as well use that fire that it lights inside you to build something else. Because I guarantee you there are millions of Republican voters who also wish there was some other option that wasn't the Democrats. That number is growing right now. And when you do create a new party, let it use sanity, instead of looking at the other bozos and just doing the opposite of what they do. Use it to reach across the aisles and pluck out the sane, reasonable people who just want pragmatism. People who respect the need for cooperation, diplomacy, sound reasoning.

Calling for stopping us vs them with a "you guys". Oh the irony.
What don't you understand? He's right, and everyone else is wrong. It's simple.
