Really, you're going to bring up the position of the solar system in the universe? Ok, the Sun orbits the center of the galaxy roughly once in 200,000,000 years. We have seen the rapid effects of man-made global warming in the past 30 years or so. That accounts for approximately 0.000015 percent of an orbit. This is not significant at all. Next, the rest of the universe resides WAY too far away to have an impact on the Earth's climate. In short: There is no connection between Earth's recent climate change and it's position in relation to either our galaxy or the rest of the universe. There is not a shred of evidence for this.
And as far as the temperature in Michigan, that is called weather. Do not confuse weather with global climate.
