This site has just the data I need. But there’s no “About me” page or anything. I don’t see a way to vet it. > **[Global Historical Weather and Climate Data | Weather and Climate](https://tcktcktck.org/)** > > Find climate information for 250+ countries and territories with historical data back to 2010. I googled tcktcktck and apparently it’s a UN climate action campaing, but the website itself says nothing. ---

I like their [terms and conditions](https://tcktcktck.org/page/term) :rofl: TLDR: This website seems not be owned or operated by the “Global Campaign for Climate Action” any more. It was for sale at GoDaddy for a while, then someone anonymous from Vietnam bought it in 2021. Really weird, agree. In the past there used to be “about” and others… maybe you can find some more info through the internet archive? Nothing About UN as far as I can tell, though. > **[About TckTckTck | the Global Campaign for Climate Action](https://web.archive.org/web/20120503203156/http://tcktcktck.org/about/)** > > TckTckTck is the public face of the Global Campaign for Climate Action (GCCA). The GCCA is an unprecedented alliance of more than 300 non-profit organizations all over the world. The domain is registered at GoDaddy by some Vietnamese person and is using CloudFlare: [https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?checkAvail=1&domain=tcktcktck.org](https://www.godaddy.com/whois/results.aspx?checkAvail=1&domain=tcktcktck.org) Looks like that domain changed owners at least once: [Tcktcktck.org [Whois Lookup, Whois History & Reverse Whois]](https://www.whoxy.com/tcktcktck.org#history) The .com and .net versions seem to have been abandoned by the “Global Campaign for Climate Action”, so maybe also the .org. All in all: I’d be more than skeptical with that website. ---

Perhaps the name “TckTckTck” was a fairly decent clue? ---
