The actual source quote they butchered was "the Australian Government has set a target to reduce emissions to 62-70% below 2005 levels by 2035."

It's also the amount of Co2 captured by roughly 10000 trees in a year - with apparently around 1.2 million being planted in Australia each day. I'm no expert, but I do think trees are a slightly cheaper and simpler solution for creating stuff with captured carbon.
Aka wood.
is it so much more expensive than manufacturing a HMD 2660, which does more or less the same things and retails for approx. $100?
Yes, extremely so.
HMD will manufacture millions of them with partners they have been using for a decade, they will each skim a few dollars to cover costs and profit and still do fine.
Commodore will manufacture a fraction of that volume using parts way more expensive as they buy less of them, and they still have to cover r&d and tooling costs from that lower volume.
That is why kickstarters (and pre-orders) are so damn useful, as that allows you to get a start at covering those costs before you even manufacture anything.
I'm not saying she should have a Russian accent while speaking English - she is a spy, that would be stupid - but that Scarlet Johansson is pretty rubbish at speaking Russian, which her character should be perfectly fluent in as that's her native language.
Though rarely it has to. Someone speaking multiple entirely different languages usually can't pronounce them all like a native speaker no matter how good they are, so small issues are perfectly acceptable.
It only really becomes a problem when movies try to convince us that it's supposed to be their native language, e.g Scarlet Johansson as the Black Widow - who is supposed to be a Russian spy.
US military spending is roughly $2.5 billion a day.
Have we really gone from commenting based on intelligently reading the article, to reading only the title, to commenting just based on the generic stock image thumbnail?
Making a cubic metre of concrete creates almost half a ton of Co2, so it will take years if not decades for the plant to even make up being built. A tree starts capturing immediately and keeps doing so for decades all by itself.
