I'm not a scientist; I am guessing. But I think it would be incredibly unlikely that the weight of earth's population would have any effect on earthquakes. Maybe there is a possibility that some man-made structures (all of Manhattan Island, for example) could have some effect. In any event, it would be an extremely high concentration of people or materials that would count, because when you think about it, the weight of the population is only a re-distribution of physical sustances from earth to begin with.
