This sounds like a fantasy setting to me, but it could be a sci world with amazing climate control tech ( possibly left over from a previous civilization. The two things are pretty much the same).

Actually all it takes is a really dense atmosphere to transfer the heat around as far as climate, but since presumably you don't want the nightside to be dead (or illuminated by mirrors), you need fantasy to create a backside ecology. Note that this creates a world with really violent weather. We need to put up mountain chains to keep it from being scoured by high power winds, but even with them, you'll see a lot of gales and hurricanes on the seas.
