Actor Rainn Wilson (you might know him as Dwight from The Office) had a grand scheme to bring his hilarious brand of climate advocacy to Twitter this week. That plan, however, was quickly thwarted — another victim of the name-changing drama that has flourished on the platform recently.
Wilson decided to change his name to Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson. Wilson said in a video that he changed his name on social media to help save the planet. He points to a memo pad with a change in his name written on it.
Wilson said that they wouldn't let him change his name because of Elinor.
I was blocked from changing my screen name to "Justine dying from heat calma." Since Musk gave users the power to verify themselves for a fee, best of luck to anyone trying to add their name to the free-for-all. Musk has paused naming and verification privileges after Jesus Christ and Donald Trump were verified on social media.
There are other options. Wilson has a display name that reads "Rainnfall Heat Wave Extreme Winter Wilson" I could just print myself a nametag.
There is a fun name generator at arcticrisk.org. When I typed in my cat's name on the website, he went by "Collapsing Economies Calma" Each year, a tent is put up at the World Economic Forum meeting in Davos to call attention to the ways in which climate change is changing the region. A United Nations climate conference takes place this month in Egypt.
The rest of the world has a warming rate of less than one tenth of a degree. The deadly cold snap in Texas in 2021 was linked to the changes in weather in the US. Climate change is causing more extreme weather around the globe.
We aim to raise awareness of the risks of weather change in the northern part of the world. It's bad news for us as well. Wilson said in his video that he should change his name as well.
Wilson makes a compelling case for some other celebrities, including "Samuel Earth's getting hot as L. Jackson."
