Can we change the orbit of the earth?

Like think about it we can nuke the ocean or something and slowly move the earth to get away from the sun and prevent global warming.

You could deflect a stream of kuiper belt objects to slingshot around the earth and transfer momentum to it and gradually boost the planet to a different orbit. It wouldn't be that hard to dislodge them from where they are because they're orbiting so slowly. You'd have to be quite precise in your aim to avoid an extinction level impact so keep that in mind.

launch like millions of bots and material and fuel into low orbit, and economic incentive like thousands of starlink like services; geo cameras watching our every move, and have continuous construction and thrust of controlled blankets over the earth to block out the sun a bit and buy us some time

if the spinmeme turns out to be viable

How long would a project like that have to be maintained? A million years?
