Citation please? I am skeptical that 'scientists' monolithically predicted 100 years of drought due to climate change. I never recall reading such a thing in years of news coverage.
As a layperson, I always assumed that most weather we experience is in line with historical variability. Climate change causes (or is) small changes in the bias and variance of this weather. Saying that some of the drought is caused by natural variability and some of drought was exacerbated by GHG-induced warming seems like a perfectly consistent and reasonable position.
