But won’t the sun heat those little glass beads up?

This is as smart as the "cover the glaciers with soot to make them melt" idea back in the 1970's when they were screaming about the new ice age.

Let the planet do as it will. We are not knowledgeable enough about the systems to even start to attempt to mess with it.

I predict that these glass beads will end up causing the extinction of one or more types of Ice Worm

Worse, the snow snakes that feed on the ice worms!!!

I'm missing something. Why do we care at all if glaciers melt?

Oh my, did they test the glass beads for traces of lead, cadmium, and other toxic metals? /s

Great, so sand gets into the food chain closer to the surface, which means filter fish are going to ingest it, then food fish eating the filter fish that are harvested by commercial fisheries. We’re going to need to start burning ‘scientists’ at the stake before too much longer. You think I’m cranky now, wait’ll I got sand chapping my ass.

Wait a minute, the AGW theories and models say it is not that there is too little reflection of sunlight on earth’s surfaces (which only sends the light into the upper atmosphere where it will do what???, warm the upper atmosphere??), but no, nor is not any change in solar radiation being received on earth, that is just and only “CO2 caused warming” that is “melting the glaciers” - i.e. warmer air, not sunlight directly - and therefor the glass beads will do NOTHING!!!!!! (whether or not the AGW theories are correct).

Silicosis, an irreversible but preventable disease, is the illness most closely associated with occupational exposure to the material, which also is known as silica dust. Occupational exposures to respirable crystalline silica are associated with the development of silicosis, lung cancer, pulmonary tuberculosis, and airways diseases. These exposures may also be related to the development of autoimmune disorders, chronic renal disease, and other adverse health effects.

Which causes the glaciers to melt as they absorb sunlight and get warm.

Per my link above, looks like this may have fallen into a regulatory no man’s land.

They should sprinkle ‘sprinkles’ on the glacier. Make it snow ice cream.

Hundreds of polar bears found with glass beads in their stomachs. Millions of seals die after ingesting glass beads.
