Ms Berry added: "The effects of climate change are going to be felt most keenly by the kids who are travelling in the back of these gas-guzzling 4x4s."
But Paul Everett, from the Society of Motor Manufacturers and Traders, said this style of vehicle had become very popular because they were "useful and flexible."
"The environmental performance of your average 4x4 is no worse than a large saloon or people carrier," he told BBC News.
"In many cases the safety performance of these vehicles is better than many other vehicles on the road.
"People do find the raised driving style to be safer, they see more of the road, feel more in control and in many cases drive more responsibly."
You see, we can all get little snippets of how good our cars are.
Fact is, the anti's are no better than the cars they despise, half truth, or half lie, this argument will go on, one thing for sure though, 4x4 are better for the job of towing, and as caravanners, is that not a good thing?
