It will if you are a lot closer to the pole as those arctic guys happen to be.
You would need to find one whom has got internet and ask him.

The biggest change has not been efficiency, although that has improved.
The biggest change has been in manufacturing tolerances and the ability to make an engine that will run 200,000+miles (300,000 KM) without burning significant oil.
I remember the days of the 60s with cars from the 50s that you couldn't hardly see if you were following them because of the smoke from burnt oil due to failed rings and bad valve guides.
Perhaps part of a population control strategy? Humankind certainly needs one of those based on rational thinking.
Oops, probably too frickin late.
FWIW, I’ve been a minor echelon fanboy* of the whole DC comic universe off and on for over 50yrs, and of all the permutations of both origin, ultimate destiny and multi-verse stories that an 80 yr old popular mythology series has to offer, the reasons for / mechanisms of Krypton’s destruction have varied almost as much as the actors portraying Kal-El on the little and big screens.
*not an encyclopedic nerd of the lore, but rather an eternal prepubescent who enjoys seeing impossible things happen, and those comics came along at just the right time.

Are you sure you mean 50 years? DC comics were so mindless as to be unreadable for an adult until they opened their wallets and hired some big guns in the late '80's.
I went so far as to buy several of Carmine Infantino's original silver age pages from his agent before he passed away.
EDIT - Leadbelly please some respect, Chris and I were not adults at the time. 🙂 Oh and BTW check them out, Indiana Jones, Star Wars, Star Gate, etc. are all all there in those 50's to 60's stories.

Thanks, Scott - yes Leadbelly, if you want to to the math, I’m talking about since around ‘62 or so, when the word “tween” didn’t even exist - it was proceeds from my weekly TV Guide route - remember those? Oh, maybe before your time😀
And a few years later, the ole gal that ran the corner store - Mrs Frost, geeze, but I’d love to buy her a beer - didn’t blink an eye when I graduated to the second shelf above comics counter to grab the Playboy after quaffing one of her wonderful ice-cream floats. I think she retired before the advent of Penthouse and plastic wrappers.

You need to adjust your tone arm. It just keeps spinning around in the same groove.
Climate change conspiracy is promoted by the majority of scientist studying climatology as it pads their wallets.
Climate change denial conspiracy is promoted by the energy industry (Big Oil, etc) to cover up their destruction of the environment while they pad their wallets.
Which is more plausible?
