If we get enough fo a lead time, we CAN do something about it.
The NEAR-Shoemaker probe landed on Eros and transmitted scientific data for 16 days after landing. If an unmanned spacecraft carrying scientific insturments can land on an asteroid - an unmanned spacecraft with a "physics package" can land on an asteroid.
Get enough lead time, land the craft on the asteroid, and then activating the "physics package" should make the problem asteroid go away.

Boy, just saying we're testing a physics package in space will drive the environmentalists into such a frenzy it might be worth it for entertainment value alone. Us surviving would just be frosting on the cake!
