Showing her true intelligence, Cara wowed the judges when she made a statement in response to a question about climate change.

“There is evidence that climate change is existing,” she said. “So whether you believe it or not, we need to be at that negotiation table, and I just think it’s a bad decision on behalf of the United States,” the 23-year-old said.
