The effect of this would be to shatter and melt the ice caps.

It depends on how much you like Miami and San Francisco.
Other than that....
As to what a 2-MT blast does....
A 20-MT surface burst or near-surface burst would produce a stabilized radioactive cloud extending almost as far in all directions from GZ as would a 20-MT air burst.
(approx. 16 miles)
Its tremendous fireball would "suck up" millions of tons of pulverized rock and would contaminate those particles with its radioactive material. Fallout particles as big as marbles would fall from the stabilized cloud to the ground in minutes. Very heavy fallout could be deposited as far as 18 miles upwind from such a 20-MT explosion, with heavy fallout, capable of causing fatalities within days to weeks, extending downwind for several hundred miles.

Why, no. No, it wouldn't. That sounds totally environment friendly to me.

nah, that'd be allright, as long as the bombs were made from recyclable material.

HELLOO? DUH!, it might totally destroy millions of ecosystems (and the planet) in the process. But you know what, I doubt anyone is going to try it sometime soon.
