Rainn Wilson is putting his unique first name to good use, adding a few other extreme weather-related terms around it to raise awareness during the United Nations COP27 climate change conference currently taking place in Egypt.
Wilson debuted the name-change bit in a video shared on social media, quipping at the start, “Hi there, I’m Rainn Wilson, or should I say, Rainn-fall Heat Wave Rising Sea Levels And-We-Have-To-Do-Something-About-It-Now Wilson.” After a deadpan chuckle, he added, “Sorry to get so dark, so quick.”
The “cheap little stunt to help save the planet,” as Wilson put it, was part of his efforts as a board member of Arctic Basecamp, a climate science group that focuses on the dangers and global risks of Arctic weather change. “You see, what happens in the Arctic doesn’t stay in the Arctic,” Wilson explained. “As the polar caps melt, it drives up risks throughout the world, including extreme weather events that affect all of us.” in bringing attention to the melting issue.
The Arctic is melting at Millions of Liters per second, yet this problem can’t seem to make a name for itself, so we’ll make a name for it.
