clean air quality is still largely trending downwards… between 1970 and 2021, the combined emissions of six key pollutants dropped by 78 percent

I feel you should rephrase the first sentence.

Is there anybody left in the EPA after trump?

This is confusing phrasing. I think it would be more accurate to either say “air pollution has been largely trending downwards” or “air quality had been trending upwards.”

As someone who was once an asthmatic kid living in the Los Angeles area in the 1980s I was a major beneficiary of that decades-long trend and hope to never see it reversed.
