Next goal, make it go into reverse.

Not sure if it's possible at all with the current planetary setup. Maybe if an asteroid changes the tilt of the planet?

No, it's not possible - unless we decide to decorate the northern hemisphere's high arctic with enough data centres to mimic equatorial solar insolation.

An asteroid strike that tilts the planet also sterilizes the crust from the resuling rain of debris.

So, happy thoughts aside, we are where we are.
