So you doubt that there is increased seismic activity in OK?
All science should be treated with skepticism, that's how science works but in today's political climate there are most certainly those with an agenda that is anti science and if you follow the money on that you can easily figure out why. USGS scientists are not getting rich by publishing papers that oil companies are responsible for environmental issues.
I wonder why you were so fast at commenting that the USGS has an agenda. What do you think their agenda is? One of the missions of the USGS is to minimize loss of life and property. They are on your side, trust me, as a geologist who worked for a huge energy company I know.
