You can open either with a text editor such as notepad, though a .bat file may have to be right clicked and then choose the Edit option rather than Open (Open means execute the code in the bat file). You can 'Save As' in a text editor such as notepad, in either format, by specifying the extension explicitly. Tricky.
Climate change has the potential to increase the occurrence and severity of extreme weather events in Haiti, such as hurricanes. Although the effects of climate change on hurricanes and cyclones are uncertain, models generally find an increased severity of tropical storms in a warmer climate.
