Dear ___,

Thank you for your message.

Unfortunately, the report on The Guardian was an entire fabrication. There
was indeed a meeting in Washington, but it was a regular research meeting,
not involving any of the agencies or persons mentioned, nor discussing any
dramatic, imminent event, nor providing advice to the US administration.

A letter is following to the editor of The Guardian to alert him of the
errors and requesting that a note be published.

Best regards,

Carlos

Director of The UWA Oceans Institute,
and Winthrop Professor at the School of Plant Biology

As usual with the rarely-correct Gruniad newspaper, I would recommend a
complaint to the UK Press Complaints Commission, for anyone affected.
