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.
A massive magnitude 7.0 earthquake struck Haiti in January 2010 with an epicenter about 25 km (15 mi) west of the capital, Port-au-Prince. Estimates are that over 300,000 people were killed and some 1.5 million left homeless. The earthquake was assessed as the worst in this region over the last 200 years.
