Editorial policy

Clear Planet aims to make environmental subjects clear without overstating what is known. We value careful wording, visible distinctions between fact and interpretation, and corrections that improve the record.

Accuracy and scope

We check factual statements against suitable source material before publication and keep claims within what that material supports. When a subject is contested, changing, or uncertain, we say so. Our articles offer general explanation, not professional advice or a substitute for decisions that require qualified expertise.

Independence and labelling

Editorial choices are made for relevance to Clear Planet’s subject and readers. Any sponsored material or partner content is identified clearly where it appears, so readers can distinguish it from independently edited articles. A partnership does not guarantee favourable coverage.

Corrections and updates

If you spot a factual error or a passage that creates a misleading impression, contact us with the article title and the point at issue. We review specific, actionable reports and correct material when warranted. Significant changes should be made clear in the article.

Images and illustration

Images are chosen to support the subject rather than decorate it without purpose. Some illustrations are AI-generated. When an image could be mistaken for documentary evidence, its illustrative nature should be made clear.
