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

The former Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model, 70 – who recently reunited with Vacation co-star Chevy Chase – shared her thoughts in a lengthy caption alongside a video of the ocean at sunset. 

Earlier this week on Tuesday, Trump secured his return to the White House after campaigning against Kamala Harris – prompting other celebrities such as Cardi B and Madonna to give their furious reactions. 

Brinkley began with, ‘The fate of our children’s future is in our hands. He has promised to undo every environmental protection put in place during the Biden administration on day one.’ 

‘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.’

‘There’s no undoing the climate change we are feeling today, but if we work together we can slow it even stop its devastating progression.’ 

‘And we know trickle down economics is a failed concept, so don’t think that drill Baby drill is going to make you rich. It’s more like sick, like ill baby ill.’

Christie added to her nearly 900K followers, ‘Our health is our greatest wealth and we won’t survive without a healthy biodiverse environment.’ 

She later expressed that, ‘nature doesn’t care if you’re Red Blue Black Brown Or White. there are no borders or walls that can protect you from the the various effects of unprecedented events, and “100 Year Storms” that are happening REGULARLY.’  

The model stated that, ‘We’re all in this together. So we better learn to get along and work together. For the sake and well being of our children action is mandated.’ 

‘We’re all one family on the same tiny boat known as Mother Earth…and Mom is talking…she’s telling us in so many ways she can’t take much more. She’s given us her all.’

‘Let’s show her the respect she deserves,’ Brinkley encouraged her fans. ‘Let’s be there for her over the next four years or she won’t be able to be there for us…she won’t have the resources to take care of all her babies anymore.’ 

‘So my brothers and sisters let’s stick together, birds of a feather and give each other and our Mother some love.’

Social media users jumped to the comment section to respond to Brinkley’s latest post, with some disagreeing with the model. 

‘Enough already!! Let it go for goodness sakes! You’re doing more harm than good,’ one penned, while another added, ‘Windmills kills birds &dolphins. You know nothing.’ 

However, others defended Christie and shared, ‘Perfectly said! I can’t believe anyone would want to disagree instead of uniting.’

‘Some people have therapists I have Mother Nature. But as breathtaking as Fall has been in the northeast, Nature is out of balance,’ she had written at the time. 

‘People are losing their homes to wildfires, Glacial melting and heavy rains have combined to cause flooding all over the world from Pakistan to the American south watching homes slip off their foundations and float down the river are staples on the evening news.’

She added. ‘Rising oceans are displacing millions as shorelines erode. The warming oceans temperatures are killing off coral reefs once fish breeding grounds, fishermen can’t find fish.’
