Their most plausible theory involves global warming? Global warming isn't even a plausible theory any more, ask a climatologist. This article acknowleges that it is not a meteorite crater, which is apparent from the pictures:

Global Warming. In this case all it takes is regional warming in the arctic circle to release methane previously frozen in the permafrost, which can ignite underground and explode. On Wed, Jul 16, 2014 at 12:17 PM, Michael Mulgrew via Meteorite-list meteorite-list@meteoritecentral.com wrote

The rock doesn't look like a meteorite to me. They do not indicate why they think it was a meteorite (since when do archaeologists know how to ID a meteorite?), who analyzed it, or what type of meteorite it is supposed to be. I say it's a piece of sandstone until a laboratory says otherwise.
