Narrative:
I had to declare an emergency because of a cabin pressure problem. We were climbing through FL190 just after departing. The aircraft cabin started climbing 2000ft per min. I asked for a level off at FL190. Next I declared an emergency and asked for direct to a different airport because I thought their weather was better. ATC informed me that the weather there was low IFR now. I asked for direct to our departure airport. I landed safely.
