Rainn Wilson changes her name. As the COP 27 summit begins on Sunday, November 6 this week in Egypt, the actor, who plays Dwight Schrute in the American series The office, renamed Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson. The goal: to raise awareness about the environmental crisis and global warming, particularly in the Arctic region.
“With the help of my scientific friends at Arctic Basecamp, I changed my name to Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson,” he said in a video posted on Twitter.
And to add: “No kidding, I’m just as serious as the melting of the Arctic, which amplifies global risks.”

This modification is not official at the moment, but Rainn Wilson has nevertheless expressed his desire to change his Twitter pseudonym, a manipulation that he has not yet been able to achieve, due to recent updates to the social network since its acquisition by Elon. Musk.
This name change is part of a rather original environmental awareness campaign devised by a group of experts specializing in the Arctic, Arctic Basecamp. This offers everyone the opportunity to generate a new name for free through an algorithm available on their site. Environmental activist Rainn Wilson has been a member of Arctic Basecamp since 2019.
