Our media authenticity policy

We only name a facility in a caption when the source supports it. Otherwise we describe the photo generally.
Every photograph is openly licensed. We checked each file’s own licence page, not a general assumption.
Diagrams are labelled as diagrams and never presented as photographs of a real site.
Videos are linked on their publisher’s site. We do not download or rehost them.
No photograph on this site is AI-generated. Diagrams were built in code with AI assistance (v0) under the author’s direction and checked against the cited sources.

Scientific claims are cited separately in the Research Library.

What Is the Greenhouse Effect?

Producer: NASA Science (NASA Climate Kids)
Format: Animation with narration
Method: External link to the publisher’s page. Not embedded or rehosted.
Access: Full transcript on the NASA page
Note: The video compares the atmosphere to a glass greenhouse. That is a simplification: gases absorb and re-emit infrared radiation rather than trapping air the way glass does.
