Don't laugh - I worked with a teacher who sincerely/deeply believed that the 2004 Tsunami was caused by global warming.
I understand that it's a normal or slightly below average year for major earthquakes. The difference over previous years is that more people keep moving into earthquake prone areas (California) and living in sub-standard housing (Haiti). Same problem as hurricanes.
