I think it global warming is certainly part of the meaning of this song. In the video, it zooms to Al Gore at the Live Earth concert, from summer 2007.

To me, it is empowerment to realize all that is wrong with this world and someone (Rob Thomas) is verbalizing that we can do better but we havent.

"How far we come" In the way he sings it, it seems like we havent come far at all.
