The radical changing of the planet's atmosphere ( by human activity) with the result of rapid and sustained warming is also a cause of increasing quakes as the water and the land are shifting as the Ice on Greenland and Antarctica melt and the Oceans rise. All of this is stressing & destressing various faults and the result is more Earthquakes.

We feel them around here, but so far only mild ones, and rather infrequent. It's like a tremor. I fully expect that the disaster events we saw this year will continue and will even more be more outrageous and historic, just like the mass shootings that get worse and worse and more frequent and in a parallel way to global warming events.
