“Office” star Rainn Wilson changed his name to bring awareness to global warming.
Wilson now goes by Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson — at least across his social media platforms.
The actor announced the new moniker via Twitter and Instagram in an effort to highlight the rapidly melting Arctic region (which he noted is shrinking by millions of liters per second) and its catastrophic global effects.
Wilson said he’s reached out to “lots of folks in show business” to encourage them to do the same.
His announcement was timed to the 27th annual United Nations Climate Change Conference, otherwise known as COP27, which is taking place in Egypt until Nov. 18.
