The Great Drought as shown was a bit over the top, but not completely out of the question. Just look at the actual droughts in the US during the 2000s.
Where GDW made their major errors was in the exact effects of such a drought. But as has been said upthread, GDW was doing this for the narrative of the game and to fill in the backstory of 2300.

I am surprised actually more campaigns arent based in Western Canada and Alaska - between cutoff Russian forces, Russians gone marauder, Canadian seperatists, and trying to survive itself in such terrain it would make for one heck of a campaign - you dont need HW to make it rough there

I've seen a few PBPs set there, but I think that most people want some familiarity with the area, that is if you are not using some exotic foreign locale.
