President Donald Trump has blamed improper forest management for Canadian wildfires whose smoke drifted into the Midwestern and Northeastern U.S. earlier this month. But climate change — and not a lack of “Debris Removal,” as Trump suggested — is the main factor leading to worsening Canadian wildfires and smoke pollution, experts from both sides of the border told us.  The post Major Driver of Worsening Canadian Wildfires Is Climate Change, Not Forest Mismanagement appeared first on FactCheck.org.

Sign up for Chalkbeat’s free weekly newsletter to keep up with how education is changing across the U.S.Teenage boys are coming to school with new vocabulary words: over-under, parlay, and prediction markets.They’re not just talking about gambling. They’re placing bets and hanging their hopes on the outcomes of football games.Data obtained by Chalkbeat from GoGuardian, an education software company that provides institutions tools to block and restrict certain webpages, shows that the rate of sites blocked in its gambling, betting and fantasy sports category has increased nearly 30% since the company started tracking in 2022, from a low of 13.48 blocks per 1,000 students to 17.4 this year.The company blocks roughly 140,000 attempts to access such sites on average every month — although that’s still a tiny fraction of the 86 million monthly attempts to access blocked content. Teachers said they have seen a fixation with gambling take hold in their students, who show little awareness of gambling’s risks.This surge in gambling has prompted some educators to bring in new concepts like sports betting to financial literacy classrooms. Massachusetts is developing a sports betting curriculum, and other states have added gambling awareness to their academic standards. But teachers also said they are still trying to get a handle on a growing problem.“I don’t think anybody has a grasp on this problem,” said Matt Pierson, associate director with the Nebraska Council on Economic Education. “Now that we can gamify it with an app and make it so incredibly easy, the barrier to entry is gone.”The U.S. Supreme Court cleared the way for sports betting to become widely legal in 2018. A Siena University poll found 27% of Americans in February reported that they had an active online sportsbook account, up from 19% in 2024.Though gambling is banned in most states for anyone under 21, teens have also found their way into sportsbooks, teachers said. Richard Bryant, executive director of the Kentucky Financial Empowerment Commission, a nonprofit that offers financial literacy education across the state, said some students believe sports betting is equivalent to making a smart investment. In a 2025 NerdWallet survey, 31% of sports bettors said they viewed gambling as an investment. “This is so detrimental to these kids’ financial literacy, where they’re trying to start out in the world, get a job, start earning money,” Bryant said.Pierson said he can tell right away that teenagers, especially boys, are betting. In classroom visits where he makes financial literacy presentations, “they have the vocabulary of someone who’s very into sports betting,” he said. To students seeking instant money, sports betting can seem like a feasible option: If they monitor scores and watch enough, they can win.And that’s where financial literacy education around gambling often starts: teaching students that life is unpredictable, Pierson said. In one game, Pierson has students guess how many paper balls a student can throw into a trash can in 30 seconds over several rounds, to show the unpredictable nature of sports betting.“These are human beings you’re betting on,” he said. “Have any of you had a bad day?”Pierson and his colleagues have authored a three-lesson unit on sports betting and gambling for Federal Reserve Education, a collaborative among economics educators.But like sex education, teachers are walking a fine line between stressing abstinence or a more moderate position — that it’s OK to gamble if you understand the risks and do so in moderation.In Diane Thole’s financial literacy class at School of the Future in New York City, students have looked at the toll gambling stress can take on the body and mind — consequences as dramatic as heart and sleep problems. And she tries to get students thinking about wise investing, saving for retirement, and repaying student loans. But she doesn’t say it’s not OK to gamble.“I’m not going to be like, ‘hey, let’s all download an app and bet together,’” she said. “But you do have to think about the realism of the situation.”Lily Altavena is a national reporter at Chalkbeat.

Les entitats del tercer sector parlen majoritàriament en català internament i inicien les comunicacions amb l'usuari en aquesta llengua, però facilitar la comprensió de l'usuari acaba fent que canviïn al castellà o a altres llengües. Així ho diu l'informe 'Usos lingüístics en el tercer sector' presentat aquest dimecres pel CIEMEN. Pel que fa a la comunicació interna, el català té una posició "predominant" com a llengua vehicular. En concret, aproximadament tres quartes parts de les enquestades diuen que el seu funcionament intern es desenvolupa majoritàriament català. Hi ha un 60% que manté el criteri d'iniciar habitualment l'atenció en català, però problemes en la comprensió fa que canviïn al castellà o a altres llengües. Pel que fa a la comunicació interna, aproximadament tres quartes parts de les entitats enquestades declaren que el seu funcionament intern es desenvolupa majoritàriament català. Si s'hi afegeix una petita proporció que indiquen un ús també predominant del català per sobre del castellà, el percentatge puja al 80%. A l'altre extrem, aproximadament una cinquena part de les entitats presenta un ús preferent del castellà, repartit entre aquelles que l'utilitzen de manera majoritària i una petita fracció que declara un ús exclusiu o gairebé exclusiu d'aquesta llengua. L'estudi alerta, però que aquesta presència majoritària del català en les pràctiques comunicatives no es tradueix necessàriament en una institucionalització formal dels usos lingüístics. De fet, menys de la meitat disposa d'un protocol lingüístic formalitzat per escrit, mentre que una mica més de la meitat restant es distribueix entre entitats que no compten amb cap normativa interna, aquelles en què el personal en desconeix l'existència i un cas puntual en què el protocol es troba en fase d'elaboració.   Inici en català i canvi per garantir la comprensió de l'usuari Sobre el canvi de llengua, la raó principal és la necessitat de garantir la comprensió de l'usuari i només de manera puntual s'atribueixen aquests canvis al perfil lingüístic dels professionals o a hàbits adquirits i inèrcies comunicatives. Hi ha un 60% de les entitats que manté el criteri d'iniciar habitualment l'atenció en català i hi ha un 20% que opta pel castellà, mentre que el 20% restant presenta estratègies més situacionals i flexibles -ús de les dues llengües o adaptar-se directament a la llengua de l'usuari-. Quan l'usuari no comprèn el català, el 60% de les organitzacions assegura mantenir inicialment el català sempre que existeixi un mínim de comprensió, mentre que un 20% fa un canvi immediat al castellà per garantir la fluïdesa i la immediatesa del servei. La resta de respostes reflecteixen situacions més específiques o contextuals: una part minoritària recorre a altres llengües com a recurs de mediació en casos concrets i una adopta una posició de flexibilitat total, mantenint el català com a llengua inicial, però adaptant-se sense restriccions a la llengua de l'usuari quan és necessari. Així, tot i que el català sigui la llengua principalment emprada d'entrada i que els materials informatius també siguin en català, el factor determinant en la gestió lingüística és el perfil de l'usuari i la necessitat de garantir la comprensió immediata del servei. D'altra banda, el treball mostra els resultats d'un conjunt d'afirmacions sobre ideologies i actituds lingüístiques en el tercer sector. Així, s'observa una tendència majoritàriament favorable cap al paper del català, especialment en la seva dimensió social i d'oportunitats. L'afirmació amb un nivell d'acord més elevat és la que indica que el català ofereix oportunitats socials i laborals. També presenten puntuacions altes les afirmacions segons les quals el català facilita la inclusió social a Catalunya i aquella que assenyala que prioritzar el català pot dificultar l'atenció immediata, fet que indica que conviuen percepcions positives sobre el seu valor integrador i la consciència de possibles tensions en l'àmbit assistencial. L'afirmació amb menor grau d'acord és la que defensa que el català hauria de ser sempre la llengua inicial en l'acollida. D'altra banda, els resultats mostren també una distància significativa entre les premisses normatives establertes per l'administració pública i la realitat operativa de les entitats del tercer sector. En primer lloc, són poques les que coneixen la normativa que reconeix el català com a llengua vehicular en l'acollida. En segon lloc, hi ha una percepció generalitzada d'escassa implicació institucional en l'acompanyament lingüístic. I és que la major part de les entitats assegura no rebre cap mena d'orientació específica per part de l'administració, mentre que una proporció addicional diu que les directrius rebudes són insuficients o poc operatives.   Porta d'accés a recursos per aprendre el català Aquesta situació contrasta amb el paper actiu que el tercer sector desenvolupa com a intermediari en l'accés als recursos d'aprenentatge lingüístic del territori. Així, la majoria actuen com a agents de derivació cap al Consorci per a la Normalització Lingüística i fan de pont entre els nouvinguts i el sistema públic d'ensenyament de la llengua. A més, els resultats mostren que la major part de les entitats enquestades indica que el seu personal no ha rebut cap formació en gestió lingüística o empoderament lingüístic. De fet, en ser preguntades, la majoria apunta que la principal necessitat de formació és la gestió del multilingüisme i per estratègies que permetin mantenir l'ús del català en contextos en què l'usuari utilitza altres llengües.   Limitacions del treball Els autors de l'estudi expliquen que el treball presenta algunes limitacions derivades de la dimensió de la mostra, la qual no pretén ser estadísticament representativa del conjunt del tercer sector social català. En conseqüència, expliquen que els resultats s'han d'interpretar com una aproximació exploratòria a aquesta realitat. Barcelona concentra el 40% de les entitats participants en l'enquesta i Olot un 20%, mentre que la resta es reparteixen entre  diverses localitats com Girona, Granollers, l'Hospitalet de Llobregat, Sant Boi de Llobregat i Santa Coloma de Gramenet. Aquestes es dediquen majoritàriament a la primera acollida, la protecció internacional i l'acompanyament de persones sol·licitants d'asil, però n'hi ha també dedicades als serveis socials bàsics, l'atenció a la vulnerabilitat i l'atenció sociolaboral.

(The Center Square) - Let’s Go Washington has formally challenged the state attorney general’s recently released Public Investment Impact Disclosure for the initiative to repeal the state's income tax, calling it “government advocacy masked as transparency.” The PIID statement to appear with the I-645 initiative on the ballot states: "This measure would decrease funding for public K-12 education, higher education (including universities and community colleges), and human services (primarily healthcare). “It's not accurate, because nothing is being cut from programs by voting yes for initiative 645," said LGW spokesman Darren Littell in a Tuesday interview with The Center Square. "All the funding is there. And the only thing that we're cutting is an income tax, and its speculation as far as potential future impact,” he said. According to LGW, the PIID misstates the top three categories of state services funded by the general fund in the current state budget and is therefore “inaccurate and misleading”. Littell said the initiative to repeal the income tax will ultimately save the state money. “It saves money for folks and, so the statement should actually be saying that this is going to increase funding for the general fund in Washington state,” he said. In a press release announcing their official appeal, LGW Founder Brian Heywood noted the income tax will not be collected until 2029, so it can’t decrease current funding. “You can’t cut money that doesn’t exist. The Attorney General’s PIID is not just misleading; it’s factually incorrect,” said Heywood. Littell agreed with that conclusion. “How can you possibly cut a budget that doesn't exist, funding that doesn't exist? But the PIID and the way that the attorney general wrote it, they were pretending like this tax has already been enacted. It's been bringing in money for years. It's just not the case,” said Littell. As reported by The Center Square, a lawsuit was filed last week challenging the constitutionality of the 2022 state law that places an impact disclosure statement alongside ballot initiatives. Arthur West filed the lawsuit July 24 in Thurston County Superior Court, challenging the fact the PIID statement appears with the initiative statement on the ballot, amending what voters were asked to sign petitions for to qualify the measure originally. “The intent of this legislation is not to provide disclosure, as its proponents stated. The intent of this was to make it impossible for citizens to exercise the initiative power to cut government spending,” said West in an interview with The Center Square. Supporters of the PIID argue voters need to understand the impact an initiative would have on the state budget. “The law ensures voters receive information about initiatives they are asked to decide. We look forward to defending it," wrote Mike Faulk, deputy communications director in the Attorney General’s Office, via email to The Center Square. Littell pushed back, arguing voters are smarter than the attorney general's office suggests. “They want to keep the income tax," he said. "Nick Brown has said this income tax is a good thing. And so, do you think he's going to write a fair balanced statement? It's clear that he has done everything he can to make sure that this is as damaging as possible to the initiative effort to repeal the income tax.” The Center Square emailed Littell’s criticisms to the attorney general’s office on Wednesday and received a brief response. “The disclosure statement is required by law and accurately explains the financial impact of the measure,” wrote Faulk. A hearing is expected in Thurston County Superior Court sometime next week, and any decision made by the superior court judge can be appealed directly to the Washington State Supreme Court. A final determination on what the PIID will state must be made before Aug. 21, when ballots for the November election must be finalized.
