(CBS News) – An environmental group wants to carve President Trump’s face into an arctic iceberg for one special purpose: To prove climate change is happening. “Melting Ice,” a Finnish non-governmental organization, aims to raise about $500,000 to build a 115-foot monument dedicated to Mr. Trump.

Nicholas Prieto, chairman of the Melting Ice association, which is behind Project Trumpmore, said the idea is a tangible attempt to show Mr. Trump and others who don’t believe climate change is a “real issue.”

“Global warming is one of the most important issues and topics of today,” Prieto said in a statement. “We want to build the monument for all of us, so we can see how long the sculpture lasts before melting. There are still people who ponder whether it’s a real issue. Often people only believe something when they see it with their own eyes.”

If successful, the group says they will install a camera at the site to livestream the sculpture as it melts.

During his presidency, Mr. Trump has rejected the existence of human-made climate change, once saying without evidence that it was fabricated by China to make U.S. manufacturing “noncompetitve.” Last year, he withdrew the U.S. from the 2015 Paris climte accord, a deal signed by nearly 200 countries that focused at reducing carbon emissions, slowing rising global temperatures and helping countries deal with the effects of climate change.
