Temperature difference is not actually caused by the spinning but by a direct result of it, where the sunlight is hitting the surface of the earth and warming it up. When the earth rotates the earth stops warming some of it up and begins to warm up other parts of it. The part no longer being warmed up is now undergoing 'night' and begins to cool down. If the earth rotated the same speed it went around the earth but in the opposite direction it would always be day on one half the earth and uninhabitably hot, while the other side would be just as cold.

How Global winds are directly caused by the the earths rotation and?

Global winds are directly caused by the combination of the Earth's rotation and the uneven heating of the Earth's surface. The Coriolis effect, resulting from the Earth's rotation, deflects the wind patterns creating the global wind belts. The uneven heating of the Earth's surface by the sun creates temperature differences that drive the movement of air in the atmosphere, resulting in the global wind patterns we observe.
