As much as any former engineer/science teacher/comedian. His experience being a technical expert in "Battle Bots" has been particularly helpful in gaining expertise in global climate theory as well.

Dearest Ken. The storms and drought in the southwest US have nothing to do with the CO2 contributions of mankind.
Pacific and Atlantic Ocean influences on multidecadal drought frequency in the United States
Conclusions
Three rotated principal components explain 74% of the variance in 20-year moving frequencies of drought in the conterminous U.S. The first component is highly correlated with the PDO, and the second component is correlated with the AMO. These first two components explain nearly equal proportions of variance in the entire data set and, combined, explain 52% of the total variance. These results support previous research that has indicated the existence of a relation between these climate indices and drought variability in the U.S. The third component represents a complex pattern of positive and negative trends in U.S. drought frequency over the 20th Century, and its score time series is highly correlated with both a trend line and the inverse NH temperature time series. The inclusion of all three time series, the PDO, AMO, and a trending geophysical indicator like NH temperature, appears to be crucial in generating multiple regression equations that can accurately simulate the historical 20-year patterns of drought frequency. This research indicates that persistence of the current positive AMO state may lead to continuing above normal frequencies of U.S. drought in the near future, with the pattern of drought modulated by the sign of the PDO.

Hey, don't wreck Ken's memes with science... Ken doesn't science much...
He is very good at looking at pictures with "funny" stuff written on them. From them he can gather you are a bible thumping redneck who thinks the world is flat. You may as well give up, redneck, that kind of proof is inescapable.
