According to the UN, enough cotton for one jeans requires 10,850 litres of water and an unhealthy dose of some of the world's most hazardous pesticides and carcinogenic chemicals.

Growing cotton accounts for 24 per cent of global insecticide use and is believed to account for one million cases of poisoning and as many as 20,000 deaths a year. And for what? In Britain alone, 500,000 tons of unwanted clothing end up in landfill sites each year.

Experts assessing the dangers posed to civilisation have added climate change to the prospect of nuclear annihilation as the greatest threats to humankind.

As a result, the group has moved the minute hand on its famous "Doomsday Clock" two minutes closer to midnight.

The concept timepiece, devised by the Bulletin of the Atomic Scientists, now stands at five minutes to the hour.

The clock was first featured by the magazine 60 years ago, shortly after the US dropped its A-bombs on Japan.

Not since the darkest days of the Cold War has the Bulletin, which covers global security issues, felt the need to place the minute hand so close to midnight

Sir David Attenborough, the elder statesman of the natural world, called yesterday for a return to wartime values to save the planet from global warming.

He said that even tiny amounts of wasted electricity were immoral because they put ‘our grandchildren’s lives in danger’

‘There should be a general moral view that wasting energy is wrong. It doesn’t matter if it’s a tiny bit or a big bit. It’s a general attitude to life.’he said.

‘Everything we do goes up and stays up for 100 years in terms of carbon dioxide. The more it does the hotter it will get.’

Sir David made his call for change a few hours after the Met Office announced that 2006 was about go down in history as the hottest in Britain since records began
