What kind of climate shift are you referring to? Like when fungi produce organic acids and aromatic compounds etc, how is that related to shifting the climate in any way?
Comment on It might not be too long before animals evolve a rudimentary mechanism to filter microplastics

The formation of fossil fuels that then got burned starting in the Industrial Revolution causing our current climate change

Are you referring to fossil fuels? A recent video from Howtown is messing with me.
