　　A climate change group is raising half a million dollars with the goal of carving President Donald Trump’s face into an arctic iceberg.

　　The Finnish group Melting Ice is spearheading the initiative with the intention of carving a 115-foot ice sculpture of Mr 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.”

　　Mr Trump has previously pondered whether climate change exists, and has at times even said that parts of the world would benefit from the effects. At other times he has claimed that climate change was “created by and for the Chinese in order to make US manufacturing non-competitive”.
