I've heard how the ocean levels can rise and storms will become more intense, but in terms of temperature rise what are we likely to see?

1-3 degrees average temperature rise per century.

Since the planet does not have one temperature, it would be an extremely difficult average to determine accurately. Most predictions call for a small rise, like between 1 and 10 degrees. But how can you tell for sure since there would still be freezing cold places at the poles and really hot places near the equator and seasonal changes going on all the time?

Where is the proof the ozone layer is getting thinner? How are we to know how thick it was 5000 years ago? We don't.
Global warming... what a joke. Anyone that cares to read even the basics of earth's known history would realize that the earth has been getting consistently warmer ever since the ice age. If it didn't we would still be in the ice age.

I'm not sure. But I do know that besides global warming, we are at the tail end of an ice age. (meaning that from the ice age, our earth is still in the stage of slowly getting warmer). Therefore, even without global warming our earth would be heating up.

Well the Ozone layer is getting thin. Due to polution in the air, causing the Ozone layer to have holes in it. Making the sun rays alot stronger and closer to us.
This is why it is so hot, I live in Texas and last week it was 109 here....Hot! It is starting to kill animals, plants and flowers, and we are even in a water restriction. Go to Global Warming on Google to learn more.
Hope this helps

long term or short term? slowly they r rising the storms r already more intense and more frequent. This is not something that might happen IT IS HAPPENING.
