this is a serious question but would pushing the planet further away reduce global warming? Like couldn't we tether the planet to some outpost in space that slowly moves the orbit away from the sun at the rate linerear to global warming? Like so, we bolt a massive tether to the planet all the way into space and slowly use massive rockets to push it away from the sun slowly.

Yes, but it would reduce the amount of sunlight, which would reduce plant growth and agricultural production. Probably not worth it even if it was magically feasible.
