Civilization could "just" relocate. As for desertification, see this TED talk: https://www.ted.com/talks/allan_savory_how_to_green_the_worl...

And remember, the alternative is still glaciation.

Yeah, and "just" relocating ain't exactly trivial or foolproof.

The alternative is glaciation? If we have enough control over the climate to make it a bunch warmer, surely we have enough control (should we choose to exercise it) to keep it in the middle.
