like somehow we're moving away from the sun very slowly

Solar orbits aren't something you want to mess with even if you could. Move Earth a little and it could cause other planets to shift, eventually throwing the whole system out of whack and ejecting planets into space or bombarding us with comets from the kuiper belt.

You could accomplish cooling with volcanic eruptions, but this usually blots out the sun and makes growing crops a real issue.
