Arctic weather changes, he stressed in the selfie-style video, “this is not only bad news for the Arctic, but also for us.”

“As a cheap little feat to help save planet Earth, I changed my name on Twitter [and] Instagram, “he explained, noting that its goal is” to help tell world leaders and influencers that we need to act now. “

Wilson, a high-profile environmental spokesperson and board member of Arctic Basecamp, said he had reached out to “a lot of showbiz people” to encourage them to do the same.

It’s funny. It’s free, ”he explained, asking his followers to go to ArcticRisk.org and follow in his footsteps.

Wilson’s announcement is scheduled for the UN’s 27th Annual Climate Change Conference, also known as COP27, which is held in Egypt through November 18.
