2) Mrs. Eddy

Explanation:

In the first sentence, the sentence pattern is S-V-N. That is, the sentence's order follows the subject, the verb, and a predicate nominative. The subject is the NP "gobal warming", the verb is the linking verb is, and the predicate nominative is the NP "a real threat to our planet". A predicate nominative, as you can see, is a word or group of words that completes the linking verb and renames the subject.

Then, in the second sentence, the noun "Mrs. Eddy" is the appositive renaming the NP "our neighbor". An appositive is a noun or noun phrase that renames another noun right beside it. Usually, appositive phrases are offset from the rest of the sentence with commas because the information they provide is not considered essential to complete the meaning of the sentence.
