59. Guarding the Planet: Climate Change and National Security w/ Mike Smith

Global Health Pursuit

How do forest fires link to climate change? Why does climate pose a national security threat? How can businesses mitigate their carbon footprints?

Mike Smith, co-founder and CEO of Aclymate, joined me to discuss his journey from a Navy career to founding a company focused on helping small-to-medium sized businesses achieve carbon neutrality. The conversation delves into the personal experiences that influenced Mike's transition, the importance of reforestation and carbon markets, the concept of fatal heat, and how climate change acts as a non-traditional threat to national security. Mike also explains decarbonization, offers practical advice for individuals and companies to reduce their carbon footprints, and highlights Aclymate's mission to educate and empower businesses for a sustainable future.
