The net solar flux hasn't changed. What you are talking about is increased albedo in specific areas. This is lowering solar flux globally. How will this effect agriculture? Plant life? Ocean life in twilight zones?
This is radically dangerous, and is only being proposed because we refuse let extractive industries die or change our lifestyles even slightly.

So much exactly this… I hear people talk so much about how intelligent and adaptive humans are, and how we're sure to survive almost anything because of that adaptability and intelligence, but then comes time to change something small to actually adapt to a big deal situation (like climate change for one example among many) and nearly all of humanity bands together to fight against even the tiniest change in how we do things, because apparently "the way it's always been done" is by far the best (even when it's provably wrong or bad). I truly hate humanity at this point because of this (among many other quite valid reasons I won't go into here). The Universe will be a better place when we're all gone.
