I think the purpose isn't to directly cool the planet, but the ice has much higher reflectivity and absorbs less heat from the sun compared to the ocean.

If this thing can produce ice at a large enough scale, it could have a real effect. However that doesn't solve the issue of those gaseous dudes beating up the escaping heat men and trapping them in.

Perhaps it would be possible to use that heat to generate electricity to offset some of the power cost of the device?

As wacky a concept as this seems it may be necessary to prevent extreme weather from becoming the norm.
