Is it true that the butterfly effect makes long-term weather prediction impossible?

Yes. One reference work states outright that, under the butterfly-effect model, long-term weather forecasting will never work because future storms are intrinsically unpredictable. Other sources partially support this, describing chaos-driven divergence and an intrinsic predictability limit, though some note the butterfly perturbation itself has little direct bearing on forecasts.
