Natural gas hydrofracturing took a public relations hit this month, when a British energy company admitted that its fracking operation in England was the direct cause of several small earthquakes earlier this year. And it's happening over here, too: a United States Geological Survey report found that 50 earthquakes in Oklahoma were the result of fracking.

We also have the photo of Lt John Pike pepper spraying UC Davis students, a roller coaster turned into a promenade, a surfer nearly swallowed by a humpback whale, and more in our roundup of the most popular stories on TreeHugger this month.
