'The earthquake connection is through disposal wells. Fracking can be done without disposal wells.'
'earthquakes in Arcansas near a quarry'.
'Filling a reservoir can set it off'.
A picture of some mud with cracks in it-earthquake damage? For heavens sake, it's got FOOTMARKS in it-perhaps a VERY heavy person caused it.
Hardly the end of the world.

Your inference that any geologists who don't agree with your theory are employed by the gas industry diminishes your argument.
