Alex I found a story about the ways they are thinking of to fix that problem. Sounds a bit far out, but they are thinking of ways to alter Earths orbit. They have basically said that we will need to be in an orbit similar to Mars when our sun is a red giant, to capture similar heat/energy to what we have now. Seems a bit far fetched to me, but who knows. You can view the thread here:
