I was thinking about this the other day, and the best solution that I came up with was to hit Mars with Ceres in hopes that the collision will be sufficient to restart geological activity on Mars. Sure we have to wait a while for things to cool down again and coalesce, but it seems a much more feasible solution than living in bubbles or trying to create an artificial magnetosphere.
