What is “$30/150MTok”? Claude Opus 4.6 is normally priced at “$25/MTok”. Am I just reading it wrong or is this a typo?

EDIT: I understand now. $30 for input, $150 for output. Very confusing wording. That’s insanely expensive!

The title is doing a lot of heavy lifting. No credible scientist describes AMOC collapse as the “end of humanity.” It would be catastrophic, full stop: European winters dropping 5-15°C, massive disruptions to global food production, coastal flooding, monsoon shifts affecting billions. But humans survived the last AMOC shutdown during the Younger Dryas roughly 12,900 years ago with stone tools and no supply chains. We’d suffer enormously. We wouldn’t go extinct. Framing it that way makes it easier for skeptics to dismiss the real risk.
