Did fracking cause Los Angeles’ earthquake this week? City councilmen investigate. Why bother? We’re sure fracking caused the SF quake of 1906 and the smaller quakes in 1989 and 1994. Because #climatechange and #bigoilevil.

Come on, people. It was a 4.4. Piffle, I say.
Now the earthquakes in Oklahoma mught gove one pause, since they only have been noticable since Fracking started. Of course, the earth beneath us is not a solid mass; we are floating on a cracked shell. THere are some 50 earthquakes daily around the world, we just aren't generally aware of them.
What they need to do is put up some signs declaring the Los Angeles Basin an Earthquake Free Zone. That'll fix it.
I guess this asshat never heard of the San Andreas fault.
But I bet he knows everything about George Bush's fault!
Or any of the other bazillion fault line in California, or the Pacific "ring of Fire". . . .
If fracking caused the earthquake in LA then I think we need to step up the efforts.
Hopefully Conservatives will not be harmed.
They think fracking caused the earthquake, fine. Cut LA & the rest of CA from oil & see how long they last. The sooner, the better as far as I'm concerned. The Golden State is turning into a shithole, & those who are doing it just keep pushing forward with the policies that are destroying the state.
What a bunch of Fracking dung!
The 100+ earthquake faults upon which LA and the rest of Cali sits had nothing to do with it. All previous earthquakes were caused by fracking. We have always been at war with Eastasia. Enjoy your increased chocolate ration.
Victory Gin is delicious!
No, fracking is completely innocent here; we all know Global Warming caused this, or maybe the evil Koch brothers bribed Auntie Gaiea. Fracking, however, does cause cancer in rats, so Progressive politicians want to ban it lest they develop gross tumors on their heads.
Gross tumors ARE Progressive politicians heads.
