LINK Earthquakes of the First 15 Years of the 21st Century - YouTube
Occasionally, someone makes an uninformed comment about how earthquakes have increased. Except for Oklahoma, that’s not really true. There are millions of earthquakes.
What have increased are detection, reporting, structures, population (particularly in coastal areas), and conspiracy theories.
Earthquakes overall haven’t increased in frequency or magnitude as far as records can show. We just have a lot more records.

Really? Wastewater disposal. Fracking.
Oil industry...fracking.
I know it's fracking, however there is an Oklahoma resident on this site that denies fracking is causing it. I would be interested to know what most people from Oklahoma think or even realize it is happening.
@Darthpug if someone from Oklahoma is denying it’s fracking, they are delusional and you should just ignore them.
