Skeptical Environmentalist question re: the cost of global warming

In The Skeptical Environmentalist, Bjørn Lomborg estimates the cost of global warming vs. the cost of limiting CO2 emissions by various schemes. All numbers are in the trillions, but he rather lost me in how those numbers are calculated. Then he comes up with an “optimal” method, which minimizes the costs.

Can anyone help me understand where those numbers came from?

Closing duplicate thread.
