This is a terrible visualization. It’s not at all clear what either chart is supposed to be. The y axes are out of scale. The title is misleading.

I don't see your criticism of the y axis, looks linear to me. I see little reason why the top graph and bottom graph must have the same scale.

On the other hand, this graph doesn't show what the title says it shows, and it is devoid of context: surely research on solar and wind count as "cost of zero carbon". Surely so also does research into emission reduction. And surely the cost of zero carbon is far less than the cost of not reaching zero carbon.
