Earth's rotation, tilt and orbit affects the climate.
There is nothing we can do about it.
Not so much the rotation, Trog, it is the wobble in Earth's inclination to the plane of its revolutions around the Sun combined with variations in the eccentricity and obliqueness of that orbit, plus variations in the output of the Sun itself. Not included but worth mentioning is cycles in life on Earth itself, which help drive some of the oscillations in the Earth climate from baked potato to snowball Earth due to rock and organic consumption and releases of things like methane, oxygen and such.
The argument can be made that few planets have as stable a life cycle as the Earth and that we owe it largely due to the overly large Moon, which acts much like a damper and stabilizer of our double Earth-Moon system, and that for life to succeed as it has done here, any alien planet would need a very similar set of circumstances.
