The article seems to be written from a science perspective, but also expresses curiosity about the other viewpoints that exist. It presents climate change skepticism as a complex issue rather than a simple "let's tell them the facts" situation. This approach may be useful for scientists who are trying to understand their audiences.

This is an important issue to watch. I'd like to see more coverage of this topic. There have been some articles on this already earlier this year.

There are issues with both bias and content quality (copyediting, etc.).

My recommendation would say "maybe," if that were an option. This story seems overly optimistic, since it extrapolates from California to the rest of the nation several times. It uses strong language and is clearly an opinion piece.
