Errrr. Journalism. Yikes. This happens to be precisely one of the research topics I study, sea ice energy feedbacks and constraints. Two prominent sea ice physicists have gone through the effort to directly debunk this because it's such a bad idea[1]. One is my friend and we talked about it at length. The initial white paper outlining their geoengineering plan has very basic flaws in their physical assumptions and spectral response. This is an astonishingly bad idea. I'm disappointed in the lack of background+context provided by the New Yorker here... https://www.gi.alaska.edu/news/study-glass-microspheres-wont-save-arctic-sea-ice https://www.gi.alaska.edu/news/study-glass-microspheres-wont...
