OPEC Primes the Pumps While the World Tries to Curb Emissions at COP26

OPEC members and other oil-producing nations will hold talks on Thursday about potential increases in supply.

The virtual meeting of the countries known collectively as OPEC+ comes as the COP26 conference on climate change continues in Glasgow and as other governments pressure the group to produce more oil.

It's not yet clear what decisions OPEC+ will make, but it appears likely the coalition will stick to a plan to increase oil production by a modest 400,000 barrels a day each month, which has been in place since August.
