You're confusing reflection with absorption....What you want is to absorb the UV and transmit the light. That's what sunscreens do. Ozone actually absorbs UV

Plants don't grow? What kind of plants? Plants we have today that have adapted, or plants we had back then? I find it more plausible to believe that the kind of light spectrum they were able to utilize back then was different than today, rather than believe a cat evolved from a rock.

I did actually think of ozone. Would an ozone layer combined with a translucent ice canopy give you that effect?

If you reflect light regardless of its color, there isn't much you could do to adapt, is there?
