The anomalous 0.5 and 0.7 conductance plateaus in quantum point contacts in zero magnetic field are analyzed within a phenomenological model. The model utilizes the Landauer-Buttiker formalism and involves enhanced spin correlations and thermal depopulation of spin subbands. In particular we can account for the plateau values 0.5 and 0.7, as well as the unusual temperature and magnetic field dependences of the 0.7 plateau. Finally, the model predicts the possibility of coexisting 0.5 and 0.7 plateaus.
