In an unchanging climate, the random fluctuations would lead to warming in some parts of the world and cooling in others. In a world with just random local fluctuations but no climate change, about half the weather stations would show a (more or less significant) warming, the other half a cooling. It’s not hard to understand.

A weather satellite has helped explain why the red supergiant star Betelgeuse experienced an unprecedented dimming in 2019–20. This, astronomers believe, allowed the cloud to cool and condense into dust that blocked some of Betelgeuse’s light. The satellite revealed that the star itself cooled by 140 °C.
