Within the context of the play A Midsummer Night's Dream, the fairies and particularly Puck cause problems for various mortals: to the four young lovers by bewitching Lysander and then Demetrius to love Helena, and the mechanicals by breaking up their rehearsal. It's doubtful if Bottom views his experience as a problem. Titania might consider that she has problems caused by the love-potion.

However, in Act 2 Scene 1 Titania reveals that as a result of her quarrel with Oberon, the weather has changed, the winds have sucked up from the sea contagious fogs, which, falling on the land, cause floods which rot crops and cause changes in the seasons. These are serious problems although they do not affect the characters in the play. Apparently Shakespeare was aware of the potential problems of global warming and climate change.
