Well, why not make it more general and just blame America. Afterall Ahmedinijad once remarked that America is to blame for all the problems in the Middle East for the last 1500 years, or was it the last 2500 years?
That global warming is causing seismic activity is laughable. Theres some evidence that minor seismic activity can occur from fracking and the like, but not because it rains more in one area and less in another.
Exactly, seismic activity through the rise of magma and the warming of the seas is causing global warming, not vice versa.
Fracking, per se, does not cause seismic activity, but it does register as an earth movement -- a manmade earth movement through the use of explosives. If fracking were to be extensive and were to occur near a known or unknown fault line, then yes, it might trigger a fault movement.
For this reason, fracking should not be used near residential neighborhoods, highways, or any development. Personally, I am not in favor of fracking as I think it has potential and/or hidden dangers especially if used at the base of mountains. People can be idiots in their quest for money.
