Nice work - great weather effects! Not a very nice world to live on, though...

I was just reading about Kepler 452b not that long ago. It's likely feeling the effects of a runaway greenhouse if it was like ours, but I'm thinking it's more likely it was already a living hell to begin with.

Very nice render with nice atmospheric effects.
