Nah, it's a common talking point, but it's highly flawed.

It's like claiming that because we can't predict if the stock market will go up or down tomorrow, we can't determine whether we're in a recession or a boom time.

Short-term weather is fairly chaotic (and we've gotten a lot better at predicting it over the last 50 years). Long-term trends are different.

If you can figure out recessions and booms in real time you can make lots of money.
