Honestly the best solution is the one that is probably the least feasible; an array of solar reflectors/collectors geosynchronously orbiting between the Earth and the Sun. Not only would it reduce the amount of sunlight getting to the planet, but you can manufacture them in space and use them to make electricity, hooray! But relax the space infrastructure to be able to pull it off right now. Maybe in a hundred years.
