It sounded to me that he was saying that there is a claim
that the region now known as Namibia was glaciated. I have
no Idea whether it was, but IIRC there were many regions
which weren't glaciated, just as in all known glaciations.
That he may have been "cast(ing) doubt on the Permian
glaciation" overall seems a bit of a stretch.
