A climate change group is raising half a million dollars with the goal of carving President Donald Trump’s face into an arctic iceberg.
According to The Independent, a Finnish group Melting Ice is spearheading the initiative with the intention of carving a 115-foot ice sculpture of Trump’s face, and have dubbed the effort “Project Trumpmore”.
They hope that they will be able to illustrate the dangers of climate change by watching to see how long the sculpture takes to melt.
“Global warming is one of the most important issues and topics of today, There are still people who ponder whether it’s a real issue,” Nicolas Prieto, the chairman of the group, said in a statement on the association’s website.
“We want to build the monument for all of us, so we can see how long the sculpture lasts before melting,” the statement reads. “Often people only believe something when they see it with their own eyes.”
If “Project Trumpmore” raises enough money, the group says that they will instal a live stream of the sculpture as it melts.
Trump has previously mused about being added to Mount Rushmore — the rock sculpture carved into the side of a mountain in South Dakota featuring several prominent American presidents. He even said during a rally in Ohio last year that he thinks there’s a possibility he could be added.
