Creighton doesn't seem to know the difference between writing fiction and being a "expert witness" at a Senate hearing. A more ethical person would say, "You want me for the politics, not the facts. Politicizing science is dangerous. Replace me with an actual scientist". from the 3rd link I gave you, "Today we witnessed a rather curious event in the US Senate. Possibly for the first time ever, a chair of a Senate committee, one Senator James Inhofe (R-Oklahoma), invited a science fiction writer to advise the committee (Environment and Public Works), on science facts--in this case, the facts behind climate change." BTW,, from the same article, A highlight of the session was Gray making one particular statement that he may be asked to defend (at least financially): "I'll take on any scientist in this field .... I predict that in 5 to 8 years the globe will begin to cool" 2016 was 0.28 degrees C warmer than '05.
