Surge in Oklahoma earthquakes

This file is too large for me to embed here, but this graph is one reason why I find the explanation for the surge in Oklahoma earthquakes that "it's near fault lines so of course there will be earthquakes" to be unsatisfying. Why the sudden dramatic increase now? The obvious answer of fracking seems too inconvenient for many to admit.

They've been dismissing fracking as the cause of earthquakes in North Texas as well, but people know better.

There is excellent evidence that fracking fluid lubricate and weaken fault zones.
