Maybe I've misunderstood, I'm not a climatologist, but I thought climate change means certain events become more likely but it's still impossible to say if climate change caused any single individual event.

For example, if climate change makes it 7% more likely to rain somewhere, it doesn't mean every rainy day is climate change. You can only say climate change made it 7% more rainy on average.

So climate change increases the chance of phenomena like "World's largest iceberg", but you can't say for sure if this iceberg in particular was generated by climate change.

I think that's all the article was trying to say with "could"

Can you be sure that any iceberg was generated by climate change? Maybe, for the sake of argument, 7% of every iceberg is?

There is no way to change the phenomenon of "World's largest iceberg", because the world will always have a largest Iceberg.

The largest iceberg ever was B-15 in 2000.

Wow, apparently in 2020 we were still tracking some pieces of it.

Still, it's a bad editorial move because the average reader doesn't understand the nuance. Worse, some may even read that and conclude that global warming still may not even be real...
