Just checked on https://oilprice.com/. it is above 100 USD.
There was an article here (IIRC) about Climate Change and 1.5C may be reached by 2030. With high Oil Prices, maybe it will force some countries to take climate change seriously.

Why didn’t anyone take climate change seriously during any of the previous years-long periods when oil was over $100 and why would now be any different?
Smog reduction is nice, but cars were never the main offender and denial was working OK. The real answer is that they were reducing geopolitical vulnerability to oil cutoff. It's a long road and they aren't at the end of it yet, but they can plan a few moves ahead. Unlike our guy, who poked a stick into the hornet nest and was surprised by the outcome.
