I wonder if this has a negative effect on the amount of fresh air that they get
No reason a ventilation fan can't be installed - that's standard on modern air-conditioned and insulated houses (a "whole-house fan") precisely in order to rotate the air.

I can't recommend Kirsten Dirksen's channel enough to people interested in architecture, energy efficiency, tiny homes, 'green' construction, etc. Literally hundreds of hours of high-quality content - I'm really curious how she is able to find all of these interesting people who are doing such cool things.

In her videos, you can actually appreciate and immerse yourself in the spaces and the various details. The videos are usually between 10 and 20 minutes and she's not afraid to push it further if there's enough content.

Fresh air is created by plants and CO2 is taken from the air by plants, a greenhouse has plants so... probably a good amount of oxigen there Molds are a problem and there is another, for rodents, mosquitos and cockroaches this is a dream made true. Spiders can take mosquitos easily, but the other two will need a plan
I remember this when I saw it in 2015. The whole project is dumb. It's extremely expensive, they will never break even on the heating costs. It's completely unprotected from hail. The ventilation is horrible. Humidity is high.
Sure, it's creative and fun, but let's not paint it as groundbreaking.

I imagine it's not much different from a regular residential greenhouse, in which case the plan is to throw a sufficient number of cats in there.
Mine would love that environment I’m sure though.

I also wonder if the increased humidity increases the chance for mold.
Most greenhouses have ventilation windows, often using a wax piston to automatically open/close windows based on the temperature.
