R.A. Hall Elementary School fourth-grader Julisa Castillo has been named junior division champion for the 2010 National Science Fair.
Her project, “Disproving Global Warming,” beat more than 50,000 other projects submitted by students from all over the U.S.
The NSF panel of judges included former U.S. Vice President Al Gore, 14 recipients of the President’s National Medal of Science, and four former astronauts.
Fourth-grader Julisa Raquel Castillo concluded “There is not enough evidence to prove global warming is occurring,”
Exit Question: If a forth grader can figure it out, why not Al Gore and all the other global warming alarmists?
