A systematic study (with measurements carried out at the same time each year by the same group) appears to strongly link the melting of New Zealand's glaciers to human-mediated global heating (https://www.theguardian.com/environment/2020/aug/04/theres-still-a-choice-new-zealands-melting-glaciers-show-the-human-fingerprints-of-climate-change). The authors found that extreme melting events in both 2011 and 2018 was many times more likely as a consequence of the impact of the release of greenhouse gases. This is in part of the world hardly notorious for its heavy industry and over population.
