Whether or not there has been an 'exponential' (back that term up with some numbers or that is pure propaganda. A better word would be, say, large. Exponential has a very specific meaning) increase in earthquakes 'lately' is beyond irrelevant.

We have been taking earthquake data for less than 200 years. Thinking that you can judge any kind of trend from 200/6,000,000,000 samples is beyond laughable. And before you call out "science's" claim that we have knowledge of earthquakes 100s of thousands of years ago, those come with geologic evidence.
