 Lomborg describes the views he attributes to environmental campaigners as the "Litany", which he at one time claims to have affirmed, but purports to correct in his work.The general analytical approach employed by Lomborg is based on cost-benefit analyses as employed in economics, social science, and the formulation and assessment of government policy.Much of Lomborg's examination of his Litany is based on statistical data analysis, therefore his work may be considered a work of that nature.
