Americans in their 20s and 30s could lose trillions of dollars in potential lifetime earnings as climate change disrupts the global eco**my and weakens U.S. productivity, according to a new report by NextGen Climate said.

If countries fail to reduce greenhouse gas emissions and limit the amount and pace of global warming, a 21-year-old college graduate today could lose $126,000 in lifetime wages and $187,000 in long-term savings and investments, the report found.

This would outrank the lost income due to student debt or wage stagnation.
