Default Earth will manage to get hotter

Moon --- Earth L1 (easier said and done, but we should do it anyway)


Errr, is not L1 unstable?

And L1 is about 4x the current lunar distance. Given that an eclipse
at the current distance sweeps a narrow path across the earth it
would seem that the moon at that distance would provide very little
shade, if any.

I like the Fututurama approach better, and it's much more doable.
