The push for a formal declaration of the Anthropocene age is about more than just scientific curiosity． The move the scientists write in the last issue of the journal Environmental Science & Technology， \be used as encouragement to slow carbon emissions and biodiversity（生物多样性）loss\on protection measures\， by underlining how much we're changing the environment， the formalization would be \very powerful statement\．
