A good question but you graphic doesn't address it.* The Earth's orbit eccentricity is 0.02:
Quote:
Earth's orbit has an eccentricity of less than 0.02, which means that it is very close to being circular. That is why the difference between the Earth's distance from the Sun at perihelion and aphelion is very little – less than 5 million km.

*I think that monomaniacally addressing the perceived problem leaves us open to being blind-sided by the Black Swan events. Space may be no refuge, we may need to go underground.
Again.
