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.
