No one blames it on human activity. They blame it on the Milankovich cycles
Given that this extreme melting in Antarctica also took place over 100,000 years ago it's hard to blame it on human activity but they do blame it on human-induced climate change:
"Human-caused climate change has triggered wind shifts in Antarctica, according to a new study, driving accelerated melting across the continent's west coast."

"The region’s future is, to some degree, in our hands. The study authors also looked at how Antarctica’s wind patterns would respond if humans are able to reduce the production of greenhouse gases—or if they do not do so. “If we carry on emitting greenhouse gases at an uncontrolled rate, then by 2100, we’ll have winds that reliably blow toward the east”—meaning the winds that bring in the layer of deep warm water, Holland explains."

I accept anthropogenic global warming as a valid description of the current behavior of Earth's climate. When I say "human activity" I am talking about human production of GHGs, deforestation and pollution.
