Here you go ... visual proof of significant increase in large magnitude earthquakes

Agree. Fine work PuterMan.

You put some time into it,and are dedicated. Very easy to follow also.

Activity is probably up like you say, but that still is not abnormal when you look at a longer time scale.
It seems like activity goes up and down in cycles.

Where Geology is concerned you need to graph it over thousands of years to establish a norm, if not millions. Patterns over a few years are completely meaningless.

Here is another, I think your on to something. I hope its not a super volcano eruption coming.

Same thing here. The time period covered by that graph is way to short to have meaning.

Good explanation but he should have included that we don't have enough years of data to even begin to know what is normal on top of the false idea we get from the sudden availability of data.

Here's the chart I get from USGS data. Earthquakes 6.5+

Excellent supporting graph Sir Phage! Your chart definitely displays a stair-step progression on the years 2000, 2003, 2007 and 2010! According to the USGS chart, that’s from (2000) 48 to (2010) 61, greater than 6.5+ magnitude quakes or, a total of 13 more earthquakes currently, a year, that are above 6.5.
Superb visual proof of significant increase in large magnitude earthquakes.

It's only meaningless if you don't suffer any earthquake damage. Even the Washington monument was damaged last week by the 5.9
