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?

It would be fun if it decided to cross boundary between territorial waters and countries tried to literally drag it onto their territory each tugging by the piece on their side.
Could you find a way to direct the ice melt in one direction to even make them self powered to get where you want them?
Bad news for those hoping the lush California their grandparents remember might be restored. It is very likely that California will continue to become much drier than anybody in living memory remembers.
How long will that take to melt? Years?
