Actually there is a greater chance of another Ice Age than there is of catastrophic warming.

Cold kills, humans have thrived during previous warming periods that were warmer than today.
We are a tropical species.

Based on correlation with sun spot activity you may be right.

We are in an ice age:
An ice age is a period of colder global temperatures that features recurring glacial expansion across the Earth’s surface. Capable of lasting hundreds of millions of years, these periods are interspersed with regular warmer interglacial intervals in which at least one major ice sheet is present. Earth is currently in the midst of an ice age, as the Antarctic and Greenland ice sheets remain intact despite moderate temperatures.

Is there still a hole in the ozone, or will that change also?

"Actually there is a greater chance of another Ice Age than there is of catastrophic warming."

Absolutely. Even though it fluctuates slightly in comparison to the overall much longer term, It is a time proven normal cycle in the longer timeline and it started this colder direction 8,000 years ago because of many different factors. With Solar Insolation being the main influence...
