“And so are they that come after you less than ye, as the creatures which now begin to be old, and have passed over the strength of youth.”
King James Version (KJV)
(Why is 2 Esdras shown with the King James Bible?)

The earth is approaching old age and all of creation groans with this same aging. As anything else, when aged, the function is not as it was when new.
