The actor Rainn Wilson, aka Dwight Schrute from The Office (US version), s🐎ays he has changed his name to Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson to🍸 protest against the climate crisis.
The 56-year-old board member of Arctic Basecamp—a team of experts campaigning for climate action at international forums—changed his name using an onli♑ne tool called the Arctic Risk Name Generator. Their mission “is to raise awareness of the global risks of Arctic weather change.” The effort💟 to mobilise people to change their names is being launched as world leaders gather for COP27 in Egypt.
In a statement, he called on others to log on to “If enough of us do this, then m🅰aybe COP27 will be where our world leaders sit up and notice Arctic risks and introduce a solution.”
Wl🌟ison announced hi💯s decision in a video posted to Twitter on Wednesday.
He suggested alternate names for other notable figures in the entertainment industry, including “Cardi The Arctic B🍃 Melting”, "" “Amy Poehler Bears Are Endangered”, “Harrison Why Not Drive An Electric Ford”, and “Leonardo Di-Polar Ice Caprio Are Melting”.
The Office star has changed his display name on Instagram but not his username. He has not changed either on Twitter, where he said: “PS They won’t let me change my name because, Elon!”
