I'm not acting like a douche, I'm trying to be reasonable. I don't have a position either way. Maybe they cause them, maybe they don't. I'd like to see facts, not firm belief disguised as fact (on either side).
The article in the OP does not "confirm oil earthquakes". It discusses an observed correlation between disposal wells and quakes. That is not proof that wells are causing our quakes...by any reasonable and accepted scientific method.
The person who levies the charge has the burden of proof. Surely someone can come up with an independent study that recreates/proves/demonstrates that disposal wells initiate earthquakes. Anyone?
Is there any absolute proof that smoking caused any particular cancer or heart disease?
Statistical correlations don't count.
Some people who don't smoke get lung cancer or heart disease.
Therefore no link has been proven to make the case that tobacco is to blame.
