Earth will need to be re-terraformed, but this is doable with modern technology.

We'd need to scrub the stratosphere of particulate matter, we'd need to decrease planetary albedo (literally darken the surface of the Earth to absorb more light), we'd need to produce food with minimal sunlight, we'd need to scrub the air inside our buildings so they can be habitable, there are a lot of problems that need to be tackled. With politics in command, though, we can do it. It just takes the political will to marshal the forces of production to actually fight back.
