The rotation period of the Milky Way is 225 million years.
Look at the temperature line on the graph below and see if you think there is a relationship. What was the temperature 225M years ago> 450M years ago?
This is the effect that gravity has on Global Temperature.
Sometimes we are experiencing Universe PLUS the 2/3 Milky Way, Sometimes Universe MINUS 2/3 Milky way. (Remembering we are not right at the edge of the Milky Way.)
In the next images, see the location and path the Sun takes through the Milky Way, and what the movement is of significant objects around us.

In Fig. 1 I see a 125-150 my pattern not a 225 my one. Even otherwise the gravitational force of Sun on the surface of Earth is 0.0006 times the grav. force of Earth. (Moon is 0.0000033 times) Now lets consider the nearest star Proxima Centauri - 4.25 ly away. Its grav. force on the surface of earth is ~10^-12 times that of Sun. Even if we put the whole Milky Way (Mass - 10^12 Suns) at a distance of 20 ly, its grav. force will not be more than that of Sun on the surface of Earth.

How is the relative motion of Earth inside the Milky Way significant for climate on Earth?

Because barometric pressure is caused by two things, the push upwards by the existence of the surface of the Earth, and the push downwards by gravity. Barometric pressure has been shown to be a predictor of upcoming weather, more so than any climatologist model. That should be worth something. Further the polar vortex, is likely stabilized and destabilized by magnetic/gravitational variations, as are the oceans, and the amount of heat generated within the oceans, by stirring

yes there are intermediary signals, but the temperature at 0-225-450goes all the way down to 12 degrees. (sure doesn't look like any causal relationship between CO2 and temperature in this graph. They hardly even look correlated, although I guess there wasn't much life around till plants came along to assist with feedback mechanisms.

Look at the pictures of the continental movements as the earth was 225 million years ago, now, and expected to look again in 225 million years, see how they are crescent, inverse crescent, then crescent again?? I don't say this IS related to the universe, just that it looks like it could be. and possibly is. and that it would not surprise me, if so. The hot spot of Hawaii is a global mystery because it is rolling around earth at a rate of once every 200 million years or so.

no earthbound layers we know of move at such a slow and steady rate. It may point more often than anywhere else, directly towards the "Great Attractor" and over time, the earth reacts. POSSIBLY.

@Alistair - I am not saying that gravity does not affect climate, just that grav. force of distant stars and galaxies is too feeble to cause any significant impact. Lets discuss the most accused CO2 in detail later! Coming to tectonics and evolution of earth's crust - both oceanic and continental - It is largely influenced by the convection currents in the mantle driven by dissipation of internal heat from the core. Why not quantify the effect of 'Great Attractor' on Earth and share with us?

@Alistair- do you have any published papers, or studies that could add some more information and back up your statements? From what I can tell you seem to be drawing conclusions based on pictures with out any kind of peer reviewed research to add context to them, rendering them somewhat useless in validating any conclusion you or any one else could try to make.
