In our comments we greatly welcome the attempt of Hansen et al. to evaluate various uncertainties inherent in geophysical data deduced by using different measuring concepts and observation methods. However, from a view of the energetic "cycle", this paper raises some questions which we will discuss. We will show that the energy imbalance of the entire Earth-atmosphere system is, indeed, based on these inherent uncertainties. We will demonstrate that the accuracy in the quantification of the global energy flux budget as claimed by Hansen et al. is, by far, not achievable in case of the entire Earth-atmosphere system.
