Climate group raises money to carve Trump’s face into glacier

A Finnish climate group is raising $500,000 to carve President Trump’s face into an arctic iceberg.

In an attempt to prove global warming exists, a Finnish group called Melting Ice wants to carve a 115-foot ice sculpture of Trump’s face into a glacier for an effort they call “Project Trumpmore.”

There are still people who ponder whether it’s a real issue,” Nicolas Prieto, the chairman of the Melting Ice, is quoted saying 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. Often people only believe something when they see it with their own eyes.” 

Trump has denied climate change is real in the past, saying without evidence that it was “created by and for the Chinese in order to make U.S. manufacturing noncompetitive.” 

Last December, the president also tweeted during a period of cold weather that “perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming.” 

In the East, it could be the COLDEST New Year’s Eve on record. Perhaps we could use a little bit of that good old Global Warming that our Country, but not other countries, was going to pay TRILLIONS OF DOLLARS to protect against. Bundle up!

At a rally in Ohio last year, Trump talked about the possibility of being added to Mount Rushmore. 

If the organization is successful in commissioning the project, they will install a camera at the site to livestream the sculpture as it melts.
