Christie Brinkley slammed Donald Trump over climate change concerns after his ‘devastating’ presidential win in an Instagram post shared on Saturday.

‘That will make it impossible to keep climate chaos from accelerating,’ she wrote, adding natural disasters and disease ‘will all intensify if we don’t choose our planet over profits for a handful of greedy corporations.’
