I saw a paper just a few years ago about how to shift the Earth to a higher orbit to mitigate solar brightening/expansion. It involved a large asteroid in a careful orbit that could gradually pull the whole Earth to a higher orbit.
Probably couldn't do it tomorrow, but sounded like something we might be able to do in a few hundred years instead of tens of thousands.
