See Table 10-9 on page 80 (pointer from pages 34 and 35).
Also, see Table 10-B-1 on page 82.
Qualitatively, page 36 states: "In sum, estimates of the aggregate economic impact of climate change are relative small but with a large downside
risk."
If you want to feel optimistic about future possibilities there's this on carbon capture

Also
There is a U of C professor that proposes taking a giant hose to space and blowing metal shavings into the atmosphere to emulate a volcanic eruption- seems like it would be a more cost effective way to deal with tail risk.
