Anyone taking good science courses in high school or college will immediately recognize this as nonsense. The article did not give the depth of the earthquake, but if if was more than 5 miles deep, then it would be impossible to be caused by the fracking. If it was 5 miles or less deep, then it probably wasn’t an earthquake at all.
Anyone that reads a lot of scientific papers about seismology will instantly recognize this is perfectly plausible.
Small quakes caused by fluid injection have lone been documented and understood.
