I think I felt an aftershock from yours just n....oh no wait...it’s the missus...as you were!I think set off the same magnitude of earthquake in Worthing just now when I farted whilst sitting on the floor.

It’s the disposal wells that cause quakes , not the fracking itself and these are gaining in magnitude and frequency.
It’s terrible for the environment.

Of all the forms of energy production I think this one worries me most as we can’t actually see what damage is being done. We have had some warnings that recomposing the ground may have an impact on the environment and potential for earthquakes. I would rather they stick up a few more turbines or made it compulsory for new builds to have solar panels. They don’t look great but aesthetics won’t endanger the planet.

A classic case of correlation being confused with cause. Totally unscientific.
There is an argument to be had around fracking though. In the "terrible for the environment" corner is the fact that we are unsure of the long term impacts on sites and that it returns us to a reliance on fossil fuels over green, renewable energy like wind, solar etc. In the "mitigates risks for us" corner it has the potential to totally reduce the reliance on those pesky Ruskies for piped gas. So far no one has been able to convince me either way.
utterly stupid to set a limit of 0.5 and it didnt even hit that. this is a list of quakes in the past 100 days in UK.
anyone so concerned on the envrionmental effects of this, get off your computer as you're having larger impact on the environment.
is there a table which shows earthquake hotspots for the last 50 years or even last 5 .....
The argument has to be evidence driven not emotion.
I wonder how much of that was also said when oil exploration started?
T, oil and coal may not last much longer so alternatives are needed
True, particularly under land. Even coal mining has left vast voids underground that our towns and villages are now sinking in to.
